Candy Drop Pearl, Amethyst Gold-Plated Earrings

In lieu of the usual inspiration found on her travels, Elizabeth Fortunato looks local to The Met’s ancient Egyptian and Greek galleries in NYC. The results resemble unearthed and unique antique treasures.

Cast from gold-plated brass, the 'Candy Drop' earrings feature tortoise acrylic studs with faceted green amethyst center stones and baroque freshwater pearl drops.
