Flinder Kite

The Flinder Kite Collection at Palenque is a celebration of geometric jewellery design at its most refined, built around the distinctive kite silhouette - a form that is angular and confident, with a pointed elegance that draws the eye and holds it. Each piece in the collection features a kite-shaped piece of cultured opal set in quality 925 sterling silver, the clean lines of the silver frame giving the opal's colour-shifting surface the space it needs to truly shine. The kite form has a natural dynamism to it - longer than it is wide, with a gentle taper that makes it particularly flattering as both a stud and a drop earring, the two styles available in the Flinder Kite Collection. As studs, the kite shape sits close to the ear with a quiet, geometric confidence. As drops, it moves gently with the wearer, catching the light from every angle and allowing the full beauty of the cultured opal to reveal itself. The collection is available in six carefully chosen colourways, each one a different and equally beautiful expression of what cultured opal can be. Blue brings a cool, serene luminosity. Emerald is rich and deeply saturated. Green is softer and more organic, with a natural freshness. Turquoise is vivid and immediately eye-catching. Lavender is the most romantic of the six, a soft, dreamy blush-purple with a gentle iridescence. White is the most luminous of all, pale and shimmering with an almost ethereal quality. The Flinder Kite pieces are the kind of earrings that work as effortlessly with a simple everyday look as they do with something altogether more dressed up.
