Designed in-house by Kelly Sternau, these one-of-a-kind earrings feature asscher-cut gray spinel set in 14k white gold with rare, kite-shaped slabs of maw sit sit suspended below. Maw sit sit comes from northern Myanmar’s “Jade Tract” in Kachin State, around the village of Maw Sit Sit/Tawmaw in the foothills of the Himalayas. The gem is prized for its unique patterns and rarity. The earrings measure 1.5" total length, with a 3/4" drop from the post, and are finished with secure friction posts and backs. A collector’s piece with a bold, modern edge.
Collector’s Note: Maw Sit Sit & Gray Spinel
Maw Sit Sit and gray spinel make an unexpected, refined pairing—ancient geology meets modern minimalism. Maw Sit Sit is found in only one place on Earth: the Hpakant region of northern Myanmar, within the same geological belt formed by the forces that built the Himalayas. Its vivid chrome-rich green and graphic patterning are completely natural—no dyes, no treatments. Gray spinel, on the other hand, is the connoisseur’s gemstone: cool, smoky, and naturally sophisticated, never heat-treated or enhanced. Where Maw Sit Sit shows bold color and origin-specific rarity, gray spinel brings understated brilliance and clean elegance. Together they strike a balance—one gem full of character and history, the other effortlessly modern and timeless.
