Howlite Earrings, a Glint of White
White and pale grey give these howlite earrings a softly contrasting character. The small, round face has a bright white highlight, a vivid point within the gentler colours.
Howlite takes its name from Henry How, the chemist and mineralogist who first described the mineral. There is something pleasing about a stone’s name carrying a person’s story, while its appearance offers something entirely wordless.
The white and grey might suggest a tiny island seen in reflection, reduced to a circle of pale colour. In that imagined world, the grey becomes a distant shore, and the bright highlight a little glint on water.
