Mini Punctum Earrings by Tirana Jewelery @ auto

These minimalist circular earrings are so sweet, I would wear them every day.

Tirana Jewelry offers limited edition and one-of-a-kind studio jewelry pieces made by NY based Mexican artist Graciela Fuentes. Fuentes believes in the urgency of implementing socially responsible and environmentally friendly practices. Her jewelry is made with post-consumer precious metals from local suppliers rather than with mined metals and it frequently incorporates vintage components.

IRK Earrings by Ronni Kappos @ auto

I have a great love of glass, especially when it is used in jewellery. These earrings are just beautiful, I would definitely taking a look at jeweller I. Ronni Kappos’ other work. I enjoy the bold colour and shapes of the pieces shown on her website, but I prefer the elegance of these.

Having studied art history, Ronni Kappos is influenced by modern art and architecture and sees putting beads together as a small engineering feat. All of her jewelry is made with vintage glass coming from the famed, but long defunct, German glassworks in the Sudentenland region of Bohemia. The molds and pigments used in prewar glass production are no longer available, making these beads highly collectible.
