Croissance Illimitée Earrings in Gold Vermeil by Independent Jeweller Estelle Deve
Inspired by the evolutionary spiral of the nautilus shell, in 1931 Le Corbusier proposed that museum architecture imitate the organic growth present in the natural world. In his vision, museums could begin minimal, successively expanding in a spiral order over time, room by room, growing with and reflecting better their contemporary societies. In response to this radical proposal of forward-thinking, the gradients of the Croissance Illimitée earrings, gracefully wrap around the earlobe; a tribute to uninhibited growth through experience.
The Croissance Illimitée earrings are thoughtfully crafted in 18k gold vermeil. A mirror image of the other, each earring in this pair measures 28mm across, with an inside diameter of 15mm. Each weigh 6.5g and are 3mm thick. Please note that we are unable to accept any returns on earrings due to hygiene reasons.
