The Cleopatra & Antonio earrings are an unparalleled display of understated, discreet elegance in high jewelry with the mesmerizing contrast of black pearl -epitomizing Cleopatra- against the vivid red Sardinian coral symbolizing Mark Antony. The smooth, silky appearance of the pearl and coral embellished by glittering halo of diamonds is just as bold and graceful as Cleopatra's daring act of dissolving a pearl in wine and drinking it in front of Mark Antony to show her wealth.
