The story of the design
Dark tone. Textural detail. Zero excess.
These Elite Shungite drop earrings feature two 10x7mm faceted pear center stones totaling 2.04 carats, precision cut from high-carbon Type I Shungite. The deep black centers are framed with a halo of black Thai spinel totaling 0.70 carats.
Unlike the matching ring and pendant, these earrings eliminate the white zircon outer halo and replace it with sculpted milgrain texture — adding dimension without introducing brightness. The result is a more unified, monochromatic design that feels intentional and slightly vintage in character.
Black rhodium prong detailing enhances the spinel accents and maintains tonal continuity across the entire silhouette.
Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished in bright white rhodium for durability and polish, these earrings are secured with post backs for stability and comfort.
Please Note: This piece features genuine Elite Shungite (Type I High-Carbon Shungite, 90–98% carbon). Not all shungite is jewelry-grade — most commercially available material contains significantly lower carbon content and is not suitable for precision faceting.
