Did you know that swirls complement every face shape? Q spent weeks experimenting with the correct weight and shape to make sure these swirls would be perfectly balanced and require no earring back to keep them in place. These 18k vermeil hoop earrings are a beautifully balanced modern twist on a classic form.
Handcrafted in 18k vermeil over sterling silver. Each earring measures about .75" in diameter.
Q always finds inspiration when traveling, and beaches with crystal clear water have incredible sea shells. Swirls, or spirals, are one of the repeating patterns found in nature. For example, the Nautilus, a meticulous craftsman, designs its shell in a shape called an equiangular spiral. This precise curve develops naturally as the shell increases in size but does not change its shape, ever growing but never changing its proportions.
