An oval amethyst coloured cabochon takes centre stage here, deep and glassy, held fast within a textured gold-tone faux metal rope frame that gives the whole earring a sense of old-world craftsmanship. Below, three loose gold loops curl like a signature flourish, each set with a small round crystal in emerald, ruby and amethyst, a mismatched jewel box in miniature. The effect is layered and confident, closer to a piece of estate jewellery than costume, and versatile enough to move from a work day into whatever the evening throws at you.

ABOUT APRICOT GIFT BOUTIQUE
This exclusive range of earrings originates from Apricot Gift Boutique, a store established circa 1984 in the heart of the beachside suburb of Mairangi Bay, New Zealand. The store was owned and operated by Colombian artist Helizabeth Borrero de King, offering a snapshot of her love of fashion, style, and all that glitters. A gift and jewellery store with a little taste of everything, it catered to a diverse group of locals, fashionistas, and supported artisans. The store was known for embracing community and culture, as well as bringing a unique overseas perspective to the area. Brought to you in this collection are some of the surviving pieces from the store's closure in the early 1990s. Each piece is unique and brings joy to the wearer.
