Tic Tac Earrings

Light behaves differently on these 18k gold-plated chandelier earrings — tiers of hand-finished links carry cubic zirconia down a nearly two-inch cascade that swings as you turn. Within Tic Tac they are the evening argument: the same dotted rhythm as the daytime pieces, amplified.

The base is brass beneath the plating, offered in gold or rhodium, with a post fitting and huggie-style closure keeping the weight balanced. Nickel- and lead-free, they ask only for an updo and somewhere worth going.
