Octavia Elizabeth’s emerald earrings capture holiday radiance in green

Octavia Elizabeth has refined the art of understated gemstone jewellery into something quietly commanding. The emerging jeweller’s approach centres on clean lines, precious stones and the kind of restraint that reads as confidence rather than minimalism. Her latest offering, a pair of holiday earrings, exemplifies this sensibility entirely.

The studs arrive as a pair: one set with a deep forest green stone, the other with a brighter, more translucent jade hue, each mounted in what appears to be a polished gold setting that catches the light with subtle luminosity. The geometric forms sit close to the ear, allowing the colour saturation to do the work without demanding attention through size or elaboration. Against the skin, they read as jewels rather than jewellery, the kind of pieces that improve any moment they occupy, whether worn alone or layered with other fine things.

The colour story itself speaks to a particular sensibility: these are not the cool, icy greens of winter cliché, but warmer, more naturalistic tones that suggest growth and renewal beneath the season’s surface. Photographed against fresh foliage, they sit as an extension of their own landscape rather than something imposed upon it.

The earrings will be available through Mytheresa, where Octavia Elizabeth’s broader collection lives alongside the world’s most considered contemporary jewellery makers.
