These one-of-a-kind spiderweb earrings are inspired by this wonderful and apt quote from Alain de Botton: "Our societies focus relentlessly on the upsides of the start of love; we would do well to have some sympathy for the terrors."

With the ruby hearts caught in a web of love, are the advancing spiders foe or friend? Alas, only time will tell.

Handmade in 18K yellow gold, the webs feature Gemfields bright ruby hearts and black spiders with diamond-set heads and Gemfields emeralds set into the bodies. The webs have a soft brushed finish with bright burnished edges, adding a twinkling sparkle when they hit the light.

Earrings measure 2.78cm wide x 3.8cm long including the ear wire
