Description
A distinctive pair of vintage Napier earrings distinguished by their sculptural, deeply fluted construction and luminous silver-tone finish.
The rounded, dimensional forms are composed of pronounced vertical ridges, creating an interplay of reflected light and shadow. Their substantial appearance is balanced by an elegantly compact silhouette, recalling the bold, architectural vocabulary of twentieth-century American costume jewelry.
A beautifully considered interpretation of the classic hoop, with a distinctly modern sensibility.
