cool tops

These sterling silver dangle earrings evoke the freshest, cleanest water on earth, where cool streams flow crystal clear over shining stones. Indonesian artisan Made Sudiari handcrafts her design with two carats of translucent blue topaz for a beautiful and refreshing look.

Lighthearted and sparkly, these beautiful dangle earrings from Balinese Nyoman Nartawan would be perfect for a summer wedding invite. The Balinese artisan hand crafts two semicircles from shimmering metal: Sterling silver on the bottom and cool copper on top. The pair are finished with an intriguing brushed-satin finish.

Triangles have been symbols of power and ascension across cultures for centuries, and artisan Dewi Putera channels that geometry into something luminous with these sterling silver dangle earrings. A trillion-cut blue topaz occupies the center of each earring, framed in twisted rope and set within a triangular body alive with scrolling Balinese motifs. A small 18k gold-plated accent marks the apex like a crown, introducing a warm gleam that plays beautifully against the cool, faceted stone. The combination finish deepens every shadow in the silverwork, making the whole design feel both ancient and completely current.

There is a specific kind of extravagance that belongs to the peacock, and Balinese artisan Dewi Putera distills it into sterling silver with breathtaking restraint. Each dangle earring opens into a fan of feather-like fronds, etched with intricate scrollwork and dotted along the edges, spreading downward from a faceted round blue topaz that sits at the top like a single, brilliant eye. Tucked at the base of each pendant, a teardrop of 18k gold catches the light with quiet confidence, anchoring the design in warmth without competing with the stone's cool clarity. The combination finish makes the oxidized silver recesses disappear into shadow, so every raised detail reads like something carved rather than cast.
