Nilofer - Natural Pearl/Lapis Earrings

Nilofer earrings are built around one of the most striking material contrasts in the Orah Jewels collection: mother of pearl harvested from the Makran Coast in Gwadar on one side, and deep blue lapis lazuli from the ancient mines of Badakhshan, Afghanistan on the other. The mother of pearl carries the soft, shifting luminescence of the sea, while the lapis arrives in the dense, saturated blue that ancient Mughal craftsmen ground into pigment for their finest miniatures. Set in sterling silver with 24K gold plating, the inlay work on each earring recalls the decorative geometry of Sheesh Mahal, a deliberate nod to the craft traditions that define Lahore. At 4 inches, Nilofer makes a statement that is architectural in scale and considered in every detail.

This is a piece for someone who understands that jewelry is not decoration but a declaration. Orah Jewels and Crafts sources both stones directly ,lapis from Badakhshan, pearl from the Makran Coast, and every pair is assembled by hand at our Lahore facility by artisans who have worked with gemstones for years. The 24K gold plating over sterling silver gives Nilofer a warmth that neither white nor yellow metal alone can produce. Each pair is singular: the stone configurations are not identical, because natural stones never are. At Rs 94,500, Nilofer is the kind of earring that does not repeat itself.
