ZIPEI — 'Petal' Stud Earrings, in Gold

The "Affect/Garden" collection draws inspiration from the quiet beauty of a botanical scene, exploring the intricate relationship between nature and the hand of the maker. The collection investigates the untold story of the soil, the bone, the leaves, connected through the touch of the gardener, the artist. Each piece’s organic form is shaped by the pressing of the hand. This particular design features stud-style earrings that wrap gracefully around the earlobe. Although they are a matching pair, each earring has a unique appearance when worn, with the left and right sides differing slightly due to the natural curve of each petal.
