Button Baroque Crystal Earrings

A button-shaped crystal is a crystal bead that has been cut into a flat, round disc — its profile is the profile of a button, its face is the face of a tiny, transparent window, its edge is the edge of a lens that catches and concentrates light. When faceted, the button crystal becomes a small, brilliant disc that sparkles from every angle — and when paired with a baroque pearl, it becomes a study in productive contrast: the flat and the round, the faceted and the organic, the crystal and the pearl. These earrings feature button-shaped crystal and baroque pearl drops on sterling silver ear wires.

The button crystals are faceted on their flat faces — light enters through the top, bounces between the facets, and emerges transformed. The baroque pearls suspended below each crystal are the organic counterpoint — their irregular shapes and soft luster a visual exhale between the crystals' precise, brilliant declarations. The overall effect is modern, fresh, a pair of earrings that reads as designed rather than assembled, composed rather than random.

Button earrings have a particular charm — they sit close to the earlobe, their flat faces catching the light at a flattering angle, their brilliant sparkle a small, constant presence beside the face. These are earrings for the woman who wants to sparkle without being showy, who appreciates the tension between the geometric and the organic, and who knows that a well-chosen pair of earrings can change the entire architecture of an outfit. Style them with anything — the crystal-and-pearl combination goes with every color and every occasion.
