Terracotta-toned pavé cubic zirconia starfish forms the top of each earring in gold-plated brass — the warm orange-earth tone carrying the weight of the piece above faceted turquoise ball drops that follow beneath. The starfish is proportioned as a statement element: its five arms fully developed, the pavé set across the full surface, its warm tone asserting the earring's palette. The turquoise drops provide cool contrast at the base — the same stone used in the octopus necklace, here at drop scale. A drop earring where the palette relationship does the formal work.
