Profondo Studs

Profondo — Italian for deep. As in the deep ocean, where light doesn't reach and the rarest things in the world are quietly being made.

Natural black Akoya pearls are extraordinarily rare — unlike white pearls, which are cultivated in large quantities, black pearls occur in a fraction of harvests, the result of a specific combination of the oyster, the water, and something that can't quite be engineered. They have been prized by Polynesian cultures for centuries as symbols of hope, wealth, and the mysterious power of the ocean. In ancient legend, the black pearl was the ultimate gift — something so rare it could only be offered, never demanded.

The Profondo Studs feature 7mm AAA-grade Akoya black pearls set in solid 14k yellow gold posts. Dark, luminous, and completely unforgettable. The kind of earring that makes people look twice and ask where you got them.

Available in solid 14k yellow gold.

Handmade in Kingston, NY using 100% recycled precious metals.
