Piece of the Week: Larkspur & Hawk’s ‘Tapestry Lily’ Earrings
These earrings use flat-backed white quartz to create a window onto an antique ribbon embroidered with a floral design.
While the “Tapestry Lily” one-drop earrings from Larkspur & Hawk are new for the holiday season, they hold a lot of history.
Sandwiched between the piece’s 19 carats of white quartz and black rhodium-washed sterling silver setting is a clipping of antique ribbon.
All one has to do is peer through the tabletop flat-cut quartz window and they will catch a glimpse into forgotten times.
Emily Satloff is the founder, designer, and curator of Larkspur & Hawk, a brand known for its use of 18th- century jewelry foiling techniques.
However, these earrings move away from foil in favor of ribbon.
The earrings are part of the brand’s 25-piece capsule collection, named “Tapestry” for its literal and metaphorical references.
By using embroidered ribbons, each piece is visually connected to a tapestry, as both textiles use threads to build an image.
However, Satloff also weaved the past, present, and future into the design of these earrings, said the brand, much like how a tapestry is built by weaving together threads.
“As a jewelry historian and designer, creating this new collection has been very cathartic for me because I get to step into my role as a researcher and use my knowledge of the history of decorative arts to select the ribbons, and it does not end there,” she said.

Satloff was inspired by the 15th-century Unicorn Tapestries on display at the Musèe de Cluny in Paris and The Met Cloisters in New York City when building the “Tapestry Lily” earrings and “Tapestry” collection.
“Much of this collection features tabletop, flat stone cuts of white quartz that makes it seem as if you are peeking at a tapestry through an old glass-paned window,” said Satloff.
These earrings are part of a three-piece suite, much like how women of the 18th century wore matching sets of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
The “Tapestry Lily” one-drop earrings retail for $1,000.
They are available on the Larkspur & Hawk website, along with the rest of the “Tapestry” collection, which debuted last month.
