The Greeks needed a reason the calla lily wasn't perfect. It looks as though it should be — all clean line and furled white throat, a shape that seems less grown than designed. But at the center of every bloom sits a blunt gold spadix, a spindle that interrupts the purity, and that interruption needed explaining. The story goes that the flower sprang from drops of Hera's milk fallen to earth, and that Aphrodite, unaccustomed to being outdone in her own domain, couldn't bear the sight of something so nearly flawless. So she reached into its throat and set a shaft of gold there — a deliberate blemish, envy made physical, so no one would ever mistake the flower for her equal. She miscalculated. The gold became the best part. These earrings carry that curl, and that gold. Bronze shaped into the furled trumpet of the calla, down to the small inward scroll at the base, hung on sterling silver ear wires that are hypoallergenic and nickel-free. Each earring drops 1 inch from the top of the wire and weighs 2 grams, light enough to wear from morning through dinner without remembering they're there. The warm metal against the bright silver wire gives them a quiet two-tone complexity that reads as intentional, never matchy. Handcrafted by Nina Designs.
