Constraint

Idle youth,
Subservient to everything,
I have frittered away my life
Through gentleness.
Ah! may the time come
When hearts will meet!

—Arthur Rimbaud, from Song of the Highest Tower

Earrings which seem to exercise little to no restraint in design, materials, and presentation. Are you that sort of girl (or boy)? Elements include beautiful fired clay charms by Scorched Earth with gold leaf embellishment, vintage and newer beads (Czech, Indonesian, Swarovski) and the most amazing vintage rhinestone post earrings which have been distressed with black patina. Tribal elegance, gypsy romance, even wedding appropriate.

One of a kind. The vintage posts did not come with ear nuts. I researched and tested many types and settled on clear rubber stoppers with a wider base as the most comfortable and secure backings available.
