Pounamu Babylon Earrings

When Nick Von K designed these they made him think of hanging plant foliage which led him to remember the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon his Mum used to tell him about when he was a kid. It seemed an appropriate name for these epic earrings. In Bali where Nick does a lot of designing, many of the buildings are overgroan with vines and hanging plants. It's like the tropical jungle has taken back the city making it a magical place to be creative in.

• Each earring has 6 round cabochons carved from New Zealand Greenstone set in Sterling Silver and hung on Sterling Silver hooks.
