Vivid Wings

A pair of earrings that resemble wings can be a dangerous thing. Even on the most stable of heads they might encourage the imagination to take flight. But these earrings, which are designed to look like wings and are colored accordingly, remain in place on the earlobes because they are earrings first and wings second. The wings are actually marquise-shaped elements, which are a more traditional form for earrings than for feathers. It’s a clever idea, and the effect is both vibrant and playful. The overlapping marquise shapes are arranged in a way that suggests a layered structure, providing the kind of depth that you wouldn’t get from a flat pair of wings. All the colors of the pastel rainbow are here, and the overall result is a cheerful accessory that would suit all but the most somber of occasions. The bright and lively palette is set off by a shiny base that would appear to be either gold or silver, while the individual marquise elements look like they are made from resin or acrylic. The earrings are lightweight, versatile, and have a secure fastening. Wearers are instructed to avoid exercise while wearing them, but in any case, exercise might be the last thing on their minds.
