You could be forgiven for mistaking Dolce & Gabbana’s Pom-Pom and Raffia earrings for miniature versions of Native American dream-catchers. These earrings are at once bohemian and pleasingly symmetrical — a veritable festival for the eyes and spirit.Multi-color fabric stripes adhere to hand-painted, colored metal, which is in turn bedecked with gorgeous natural stones. At the center of the action sits a mirrored surface adorned with silk flowers, all encased in nickel-free metal hardware.
These are seriously fun earrings, and they come with a clip-on closure, so that your young daughter (who hasn’t yet had her ears pierced) can wear them to school or on a chaperoned date to the mall.
Neat and Tidy… Yet “All Over the Place” Too: A Dynamic Design
Let’s be frank. Many (most?) self-styled “bohemian” earrings get way too out of control. Sure, they’re fun. But they also exude a kind of cheapness or handcraftedness (and not in a good way). These attributes make them inappropriate for upscale circumstances. For instance, you might discover a scintillating, baubley, befrilled set of earrings at a Venice Beach head shop. But such sage-scented earrings should be strictly reserved for wearing to the beach drum circle. They’re not wearable in more conventional settings.
These Dolce & Gabbana earrings, on the other hand, are a whole other ball of wax. They’re exquisitely designed and proportioned. The thoughtful engineering gives them a surprising restraint. The hyperkinetic Bohemian feel is contained by structure, and that makes the earrings look and feel more adult (in a good way) and more elegant. You CAN (and should) wear them to cocktail parties, art auctions, award shows, and first dates with eccentric viscounts. Beauty is a dance between fire and form. It needs both structure and creativity. The best pieces of art manage to embody this duality of chaos and structure.It’s hard to predict in advance which jewelry pieces will “work” and which will be total messes. These Pom-Pom and Raffia earrings absolutely work as an embodiment of the “beauty duality,” and they’ll make a great addition to your jewelry drawer. Click the link to indulge GORGEOUSNESS!
