Exclusive Deep Sea Prism Earrings by Karina Choudhrie

The multicolored streaks of these extraordinary single fragments of chrysocolla remind jeweler Karina Choudhrie of the depths of the ocean, where brightly colored fish swim among Day-Glo corals, and blue and green waters contrast with reddish and golden sands. That’s why they’re part of your Under the Sea collection, available exclusively at The Vault.

Choudhrie offset the pendants with a constellation of brilliant round diamonds and spinels in shades ranging from teal to deep red, all set in lush rose gold.

Karina Choudhrie is the founder of her eponymous brand, based in London. She worked as a private jeweler for several years after training at GIA in California, with workshops around the world, from Valenza, Italy, to the jewelry capital of India, Jaipur.

Choudhrie dreamed of a career as a gemologist and master jeweler since her early teens, treasuring the beautiful jewelry she would receive from her parents as gifts on Diwali or her birthday. She instinctively understands the tradition and craft of working with precious stones, having learned everything firsthand from wax modeling to stone setting. Choudhrie also reveres the old-fashioned tradition of painting gouache designs rather than simple sketches, finding them more evocative and beautiful.
