What is the Corinth earring made of?

The Corinth earring is handcrafted from bonded marble set on a sterling silver (925) hoop, available in sterling silver or 24K gold-plated finish. Each piece is individually handcrafted — natural variations in the marble mean no two are identical.

What does the Corinth earring represent?

The earring depicts the capital of a Corinthian column — the most ornate of the three classical Greek architectural orders, distinguished by its elaborate acanthus leaf decoration. The Corinthian order became associated with luxury, civic grandeur, and imperial ambition, appearing in monuments such as the Temple of Zeus in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome.

What is the Corinthian order?

The Corinthian order is the most ornate of the three classical orders of Ancient Greek architecture, recognised by its elaborate capital decorated with acanthus leaves and small volutes. It emerged in ancient Greece and became the defining architectural language of imperial Rome — used in the Temple of Zeus in Athens, the Pantheon, and countless monuments of classical antiquity.

Is the Corinth earring sold as a single piece or a pair?

The Corinth earring is sold as a single piece. To purchase a pair, add two to your cart. This allows you to wear a single earring as a statement piece or mix it with another earring from the THEA line for an asymmetric look.

What is the difference between the gold and silver finish?

The 24K gold-plated finish adds warmth and complements the ornate character of the Corinthian capital. The sterling silver finish is cooler and more contemporary. Both carry the same bonded marble capital.

Is each Corinth earring unique?

Yes — each earring is individually hand-carved from bonded marble, and natural variations in the stone mean no two pieces share the exact same surface pattern or texture.

Is the Corinth earring suitable as a gift?

Yes — the Corinth earring makes a distinctive gift for anyone drawn to architecture, ancient history, classical art, or sculptural jewelry. Note that it is sold as a single piece — add two to your cart if gifting a pair. Available in gold-plated or sterling silver finish.

Is the Corinth earring vegan and ethically made?

Yes. Every step of the production process is environmentally friendly, and all raw and supporting materials are vegan. We also plant one tree for every product sold as part of our ongoing eco commitment.

How do I care for the Corinth earring?

To preserve the finish, avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfume, alcohol, and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth. Store separately to prevent scratching the marble surface and hoop finish.

Each earring carries a hand-carved bonded marble Corinthian column capital: the elaborate acanthus leaf crown that gave this architectural style its reputation for refinement and civic grandeur. The Corinthian order emerged in ancient Greece and became the defining architectural language of imperial ambition — used in the Temple of Zeus in Athens, the Pantheon in Rome, and countless monuments of classical antiquity. The earring distils that legacy into a single hand-carved form.

Each earring is individually handcrafted from bonded marble. Natural variations in the stone mean no two pieces share the exact same surface pattern. The hoop is available in sterling silver or 24K gold-plated finish.
