Created specially for online retailer LuisaViaRoma, these gold plated brass earrings by Ellebj are definitely not for the shy.

They are available in different colour finishes and although LuisaViaRoma doesn’t say how large they are, the photo below showing them on a model would indicate “fairly massive”. They remind me of the best of the sixties and seventies, using geometric shapes, open space, and moving completely away from the ladylike, close to the ear pieces so prevalent.

In North America, pierced ears were for the longest time thought of as something only for immigrants or people of lower class – especially large and showy pieces. Well, bring it on. These earrings are available for about USD $300.
