Wave Hoop Earrings

For the woman who wants her gold to look like it was poured, not stamped.

These 18k yellow gold sculptural wave hoop earrings carry an undulating profile that mimics the look of liquid gold caught in a moment of motion. The irregular twist of the body breaks the surface into shifting reflections that change with the angle of the head, so the hoop reads as a small wearable sculpture rather than a familiar shape. Polished to a high mirror finish across every surface of the wave. The metal is 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic provincial goldsmithing.

The wave hoop is the contemporary chapter of a Florentine sculptural tradition. The Florentine bench masters along the Arno, the heirs of the goldsmithing tradition the Ponte Vecchio has hosted since 1593, when the Medici officially registered the bridge as the home of the trade, have always treated gold as something to be moved by hand into form, not pressed by a machine into shape. The fluidity you read in the metal is the fluidity the bench builds in.

This is the earring for the woman who wants jewelry that behaves like sculpture. The pair that catches the eye exactly because it does not repeat itself.

It reads organic. It reads contemporary. It reads as Italian gold sculpted by hand.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the earrings leave Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee included.
