These Marie de' Medici are small earrings that sit nicely and don’t feel heavy when worn.

Story & historical basis

Drop pearl earrings appear frequently in Italian Renaissance portraits, especially among women connected to court life and educated urban circles, such as the Medici environment. Pearls were commonly worn with simple gold elements and restrained proportions, creating jewelry that was recognisable without excess. These earrings are not a replica of a specific museum piece, but a contemporary design based on those visual references, adapted for present day use.
