My Own Chanel Pearl Drop Earrings

08.19.2011 by Leah // 12 Comments

I love customizing my jewelry.   I get my inspirations from celebrities and fashion magazines.

Take these Chanel Pearl Drop Earrings that Kris Aquino was wearing during the eulogy she delivered for her mom in August last year:

I remember being touched by her eulogy and cried alongside her, but I kept my eyes too on her earrings hehe.

The CC-logo in Kris Aquino’s earring was encrusted with swarovskis, and the drop pearl is just a  faux pearl. It’s just so pretty but I would learn later that the hardware comes in silver only.  And I prefer gold.

So I asked my jeweller to make one for me instead, with a smaller CC-logo encrusted with real diamonds and with real freshwater pearls as the drops.    My inspiration is this Chanel earrings being sold online at around P15,000 to P17,000:

Here’s my own version, made of 14k yellow gold:

My CC-logo earrings is removable from the pearl drops so it can be worn two-ways:  as stud CC-logo earrings or one with pearl drops!

And the price?   Very reasonable!  I added only a few thousands to the real thing’s price and I got mine in gold, with real diamonds and pearls.  Yipee!

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
