Courtesan Earrings in Blue

A leading forerunner in the enduring 21st Century trend for mismatched earrings, Tessa’s one-of-a-kind Courtesan Earrings are designed to be worn together or individually for a true statement look. Ornately decorated with pave-set black diamonds, hand-carved lapis and suspended sapphire, smoky quartz and tourmaline gemstones, the Courtesan Earrings bring a real sense of occasion and glamour to any outfit.

The Courtesan Earrings hail from our No Smoke Without Flowers collection, inspired by the Chinese opium dens of 19th Century China, known as hua-yan jians, or flower-smoke rooms. This statement piece takes its name from the colourful courtesans that inhabited these establishments, and who themselves were often bestowed gifts of jewellery in recognition for their talents.
