This piece transforms the organic form of a branch into wearable art. Subtle movable parts within the earring enable motion that echoes the natural movement of the wearer, to create a harmony between them. These movements catch the light from every angle, adding another element of energy. Icy jade cabochons form beads of light and purity while blue sapphires symbolise the sky and brown diamonds represent the earth. The drop seems to contain a whole heaven within it, carrying a message of ancient Chinese philosophy about the harmony that exist between heaven, earth and man.
