Tribal Cascade

Among the many things that the 1970s taught us was that when you wanted to look casually up-to-the-minute, you had to dress as if you might at any moment decide to enter a yachting competition on the spur of the moment. That was pretty much the idea behind the whole nautical look, which is still with us today. And the nautical look is nowhere more succinctly encapsulated than in the design of these earrings, which are so thoroughly infused with the essence of a sailing adventure that you practically feel you are already wearing a navy blazer. The cascade of tassels isn’t just a decoration; it’s a whole way of life. The tassels are the sea spray, the embossed metallic upper part is the ship’s rail, and the triangular shape is the signal flag that says “Prepare to come about.” Once you put these on, you will feel that you are never more than a couple of quick splices away from setting the jib or reefing the topsail. And if that doesn’t make you the life of the party, nothing will.
