The Celtic knotwork drop earring has a long presence in Scotland's silver jewellery tradition, the vertical drop format providing a natural field for elongated knotwork compositions that move and catch the light with wear. The combination of open interlaced silverwork with a coloured stone at the base is a well-established approach, the geometric discipline of the knotwork providing a structured upper element while the stone anchors the composition with colour and weight. The use of a vivid green stone connects the design to the greens of the Scottish landscape, a colour association that runs throughout the broader Celtic decorative tradition.
Each earring presents a teardrop-shaped open knotwork composition suspended from a fish hook fitting. The upper portion carries an open Celtic knotwork panel, its interlaced strands forming a compact symmetrical composition of looping and crossing forms with well-defined negative spaces between them. The strands taper and curve naturally into the lower section, where two outward-sweeping arms frame a round green stone in a smooth bezel setting, its saturated emerald tone providing a vivid focal point at the base of the drop. The silver throughout carries a high mirror polish. Fish hook fitting above.
9.2mm width, 17.2mm height. Weight approximately 1.18g per earring. 925 sterling silver with round green stone in bezel setting. Fish hook fitting.
