Botticelli and the Renaissance pearl
The Botticelli Earring takes its motif from the Three Graces in Sandro Botticelli's Primavera, where pearls decorate their flowing hair. Sophie Bille Brahe translates that detail into delicate branches of freshwater pearls that extend from the ear. It measures 3 cm and is set in 14K certified recycled yellow gold. The Petite Celli is a smaller interpretation of the Botticelli Earring, one of several pearl earrings in the range.
Petit Croissant de Lune
The Petit Croissant de Lune is a curved row of graduated diamonds that follows the contour of the earlobe. Each stone sits in its own gold bezel, set in 18K certified recycled yellow gold. A hook fastening holds it in place, and it comes for the left or right ear.
Its crescent moon shape comes from the night sky, a thread through the work of a designer descended from the astronomer Tycho Brahe. The earring continues the form of the house's most famous design, and the same motif returns in Croissant de Lune and Croissant Trois.
Babylon Deux and the pearl pair
Babylon Deux places two freshwater pearls of different sizes close together on the earlobe, in 14K certified recycled yellow gold. It can be worn alone or with a larger pearl earring from the range. Pearls carry a personal story for the designer: her mother gave her a pearl necklace after her son was born.
Stoy carries Sophie Bille Brahe earrings alongside the brand's rings and necklaces. The range runs from pearls in 14K gold to Top Wesselton VVS diamonds in 18K, with the Boucle hoops handmade in Italy. Lengths go from 0.5 cm to 3.7 cm, and small diamond initials add a personal touch. See also Sophie Bille Brahe necklaces and rings, or the full Sophie Bille Brahe range.
