Elena - Princess Cut Climber
The Elena climbers are extraordinary pieces, made of Pinkish-Purple hued natural Sapphires, Princess Cut, and arranged in a jagged, randomized, and layered construction.
Cast in place, swollen beads and dainty claws of 18kt Rose Gold hold each glittering stone in place, designed to fill the lobe and climb up the ear in a bright, striking, and extremely beautiful piece!
Earrings can be purchased individually and matched with another earring or can be purchased as a set.
The back features a climbing prong, which is comfortable and secure and holds the line of the climber in place, exactly where you want it. To put it on, simply push the prong through your piercing, as you would a wire or drop earring back, and then twist the piece into position so that the climbing prong sits comfortably behind the lobe. This can take a little adjusting to get into position, but once there it is secure.
Cast in place, the design is destroyed in the making, resulting in a truly original, one-of-a-kind piece. No two are ever identical. Handmade by Jayne Moore, made from start to finish in New York City.
The climbers in the photographs have sold. New orders will be custom made to order. Each earring is approximately 1.5 carats. Every order is a one of a kind, so natural variances will occur - but they will always be extraordinarily beautiful! Please allow 4-6 weeks for production.

18k Royal Yellow -
Our 18k Royal Yellow is the perfect blend of yellow Gold’s with a warmer hue - less green than some - which is extremely beautiful - rich and refined - on all skin tones.
18k Rose Gold -
Our 18k Rose Gold is the result of an infusion of copper and a touch of silver into our Gold, giving it that warm, rich, earthy quality that makes Rose Gold such a beautiful metal. The silver paling it from the otherwise ‘red gold’, the copper adding a blush. The result is what we call our “dusty rose”. Indeed this just might be our all-time favourite metal blend.
Our Signature 10k Gold -
Our signature 10k Yellow Gold is an unsung hero. An underestimated Gold, this is a beautiful, very strong, pale and creamy gold that shines brilliantly and pops against all skin tones - being naturally less yellow and brassy than the typical 18-24kt Golds.
As the flashy "Kardashian culture" evolved, the higher karat golds became more coveted, but time and time again it's my 10 karat pieces that people notice and fall in love with. It's a beautiful fine metal, strong, classy and unpretentious. We're bringing it back!
Platinum -
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is much stronger, and therefore used in jewelry in almost a pure form (approximately 95% pure).
Platinum is extremely long wearing and is less grey than the mislabeled white gold, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold does.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
White Gold -
We do do white gold on occasion, but are less fickle about the karat. White gold is actually a grey metal, and is almost always Rhodium plated to appear more white. For this reason, we tend to use 14kt White Gold as it is strong and durable.
Ring size is very specific to each individual, so I highly recommend you print out our Ring Sizer for guidance - it is VITAL that you print it out at 100% scale on your printer. Some printers automatically adjust the scale settings, so please be diligent when checking.
The thicker the band, the more snuggly it will fit, so I recommend you size up half a size for anything north of a 5mm wide band.
