An unusual pair of kinetic earrings, modeled in 14k yellow gold, whose smoky quartz spheres are covered with many, small, hexagon-shaped facets, for extreme light play. These sparkling quartz gems turn freely inside the hand-fabricated, orrery-like mounts, which swing below their earwires. These earrings read like sparkling, ringed planets. The stylized, round, French hooks reflect that spinning aesthetic. These are fun, and eye-catching, with a great warm-neutral color palate.
