The Chinese philosophy and culture places a great emphasis on balance in the universe. All things are created and governed by a series of different elements, and for true harmony, their polar opposites must be present as well. Diamond pearl earrings are no exception to this rule, as they manage to combine two truly remarkable materials (although each material is special in its own way) diamonds and pearls and offset their different features against one another. Diamonds are designed to be eye catching, with the light being reflected from their different facets of the stone, whilst pearls have a quiet, understated elegance and beauty to them. This seemingly contradictory combination results in a truly awesome finished result, and whilst by no means a new or innovative design, it has been a firm favorite among jewellers.
