WHY LONG DROP EARRINGS?
Do you have a jewelry “MVP” (most valuable piece) in your wardrobe?
I don’t mean this monetarily, but rather a piece that feels empowering or even makes a statement!
Lately, I’ve found this in “long drop” earrings!
Maybe it is because such earrings frame our faces, therefore the most noticed jewel during zoom calls - and as we are beginning to gather again in person.
I have two pairs that women AND men rave about and have even received messages days or weeks later asking who designed them and how to get them.
From articulated long drops to studs with earring jackets, this coveted selection of earrings will serve you well day-to-night…
Let’s go long!
SHOP DISCERNING DROP EARRINGS DESIGNED BY WOMEN!
ENDURING DROPS: ZAFFIRO JEWELRY
Elizabeth and Jack are the dynamic couple behind Zaffiro Jewelry - and these equally dynamic Moonstone and Aquamarine Earrings.
Their timeless Classic Collection illustrates their mastery of an ancient technique, called “granulation”. It is the application of miniature spheres of precious metals in jewelry practiced 4,000 years ago in and around Italy and Greece!
IT’S ELEMENTAL: KRISTIN HANSON
Ancient cultures believed that gemstones were imbued with special properties:
Jade: luck and abundance
Pearl: integrity and focus
Kristin Hanson is a designer with an abundant range of dynamic work who shares her creative philosophies and jewelry design knowledge with other women who are emerging designers.
Hooray for women supporting women!
FLASHY! LE STER
Le Ster’s work is supercharged with energy, color, and light, and… FLASH!
Aishleen’s design signature fuses contrary forces of strong and gentle, graphic and soft in a way that is dynamically wearable.
Case in point are these striking Thunderflash ear jackets and studs, inspired by this pyrotechnic device that once activated, explodes with a loud bang and a flash.
Variations in stone color and metal are available and they can be bought as singles or a pair.
POLISH + GRIT: DEBRA NAVARRO
Debra’s work is vibrant with a generous smattering of polish and grit - honoring the strength and dynamism we all possess as strong women.
These earrings are also versatile as jewelry wardrobe staples that compliment days in denim as much as a black-tie night out!
With every purchase, 5% will go to Gem Legacy - an organization supporting education, vocational training, and local economies in East African mining communities, helping them thrive.
RISE AND SHINE: DAOU JEWELLERY
Dalia, a 3rd generation jeweler with post-graduate and physics degrees, creates dynamic jewelry inspired by her fascination with the many marvels of our universe!
From her reimagined ‘70s “Wonder Woman” Phoenix earrings to her striking Morning Long Earrings from the Sunset Sunrise collection, can you imagine more epic day-to-night earrings?
EPICALLY LONG DROPS: DUBINI JEWELLERY
Dubini Jewellery’s long drop earrings are day-to-night perfection.
Benedetta effortlessly blends ancient coins (in this case from about as early as 325ish BC) with modern feminity in ways that fluidly flow from denim to dresses.
Hello “Modern Classic”!
LONG DROPS, LONG HISTORY: HARGREAVES STOCKHOLM
Jemima’s Long Drops earrings are imbued with a loooong history... a Viking one!
Inspired by Scandinavia, Swedish forests, and magical paintings by Tove Jansson, the “Tove” Collection is inspired by shapes and symbols that evoke strength and power (hello Viking Warrior Women)!
Another awesome quality is her jewelry “ingredients” include fair mined gold with responsibly sourced gemstones - and custom colored organic bamboo silk cord.
