In Chinese culture the numbers 88 are an auspicious one and these earrings honour that with Jade.
The bottom portion of the earrings can also be removed from the hoop and added to a chain necklace. This ability to transform jewellery is part of COVEN’s design philosophy enabling the wearer to play with their pieces in different forms.
