Petra, meaning stone, takes its name from skandalopetra, the ancient Greek art of freediving.  Brave divers would descend into the depths without equipment, holding a weighted stone tethered by rope, before being drawn back to the boat.  Paired with Paspaley Diamond Horseshoe Earrings, each earring celebrates a 12mm triangle-shaped Australian South Sea pearl, suspended from a fine 18K yellow gold chain set with diamonds, evoking the skandalopetra stones and ropes that once connected divers to vessels.
