GEM FATALE
The seductive charm of mismatched jewellery
The metallic one-earring trend has been evolving for a few seasons now, soldering its strength at the European Spring/Summer 2018 shows last month where shoulder-grazing sculptural pieces floated down runways. But you needn’t wait for them to hit your favourite e-stores next year. I’ve secured an exclusive offer from Pigna, the Sydney-based jewellery creation of Danish designer, Kristina Ammitzboll.
Choose from spellbinding interlocked magician’s hoop earrings through to single teardrop Tahitian pearls dripping off delicate silver chains, and hinged mixed metal blade earrings for an instantly sharp look. Adding polish to any outfit, simply tie your hair back into a ponytail and donne a decadent, dangly earring. It’s a slick and simple styling hack for anyone allergic to dressing up or simply in a rush between work and evening activities.
With collections sold at Bassike stores nationwide and abroad, in Copenhagen and online, Pigna’s sterling silver and 24kt gold-plated silver and brass bracelets, wrist cuffs, arm rings and necklaces showcase precious and semi-precious stones and gems ranging from tranquil Smokey Quartz and Black Pearls to shimmering Rainbow Pyrite. Quintessentially, the brand appeals to adventurous women with an indelible sense of self.
Asymmetry plays a strong aesthetic role with all the pieces as they’re intended to be mixed and matched. Treasure hunters can pair a single dangling disc earring with a lobe curve opposite a spear facetted Champagne Quartz stud, or triple interlocked gold and silver rings opposite a solitary gilded wing stud for the ultimate Midas touch. The combination possibilities are endless, and best of all, most earrings can be sold as singles if preferred.
