The Story
These stunning earrings are inspired by Empress Dowager Cixi of China who knew how to make a fashion moment. The ReBe Empress Jade Drop Earrings begin with solid Jade circles and end with a cascade of delicate Onyx beads. The gold etchings are from a hand-drawn sketch of silk stitching. Wear these earrings when you want to feel like an empress.
The Inspiration
Empress Cixi sits atop her throne. Six-inch, bejeweled platform shoes adorn her feet. Her fingers are covered with gold claw-like caps. She wears silk robes embroidered with dragons and flowers, and atop her Jade hairpin-laden coif sits a headdress dripping with precious stones.
Jade from China
Jade is a talisman thought to guide and protect you throughout the journey of life. Wear it close to your heart and remember those who love you and wish for your safety. As a gem, Jade is valued higher than gold in China where they say, “You can put a price on gold, but you can't put a price on Jade.”
The Jade in ReBe jewelry comes from Xinjiang, the vast northwest region of China where lush green oases and desert lands coincide in harmony.
