Taxila Earrings

The Taxila earrings were designed for an ancient Punjabi crossroads city, home to one of the world's first universities, where Persian, Greek, and Indian traditions met and the pyramid forms common to its architecture became the direct inspiration here. Each earring is built as a small three-dimensional star polygon: bugle beads crossing over each other to form a compact geometric solid that reads differently from every angle. Below it, three fine fringe strands hang loosely, each ending in a small stone drop.

The contrast is the design- something architectural and three-dimensional up top, something that barely moves the air below. They work with hair up or a sleek ponytail, where the 3D form sits cleanly against the neck. They're a piece for a day when you want something precise on your ears, a dinner where understated is still interesting, or any occasion where less is doing more work than it looks like.
