Locus Solus Earrings

The Locus Solus hoops are thoughtfully crafted in your choice of sterling silver 925 or 18k gold vermeil and feature a graduating arc of black onyx, malachite, or lapis. 6mm thick at their widest point, these gradient earrings measure 18mm from their outer to 15mm at their inner diameters, with a 1mm silver edge at the stone’s incision. Each weighs 3.9 grams. Please note, all stones are natural gemstones and will present variations in color and pattern.

Subtly honouring Gae Aulenti’s range of garden furniture which reimagined the conventional style of the Rationalism era, our Locus Solus earrings play on the youthfulness and experimentation of her 1964 designs. The earrings take on an asymmetrical arc shape, imprinted with delicate ridges, that gently envelop the ear lobe as it slightly descends in size. The larger gradient of the Locus Solus earrings is formed of coloured semi-precious stones, with the smaller half of the earring flowing smoothly into solid metal. This contrast captures the eccentric fusion of colour and metal, and its ability to provide a means of expression that differs from the paradigms of physical space, a principle that Aulenti championed throughout her career.
