For lovers of minimalism: 10 pairs of earrings from simple to luxurious
Text: Dasha Knyazeva and Artem Pliss
Neat, concise earrings - salvation for all. They are perfectly combined with base and elegant clothes. In contrast to the "chandeliers" with stones and bright ornaments that refer to a particular subculture (which, by the way, now occupy a special niche in the world of costume jewelry), you will not remember their existence only for certain reasons. Minimalistic earrings can be worn for years - and this is their strength. We found ten options for those who are willing to spend money, and for those who want to save.
Qari qris
4 000 rub.
Qari Qris is a working couple of Davydovs who have allocated a separate room in the apartment for the workshop. Their attitude to work and attention to detail are captivating. The most important thing in Qari Qris is that the guys perceive their inconspicuous decorations as a way to emphasize the natural beauty of a person, without distracting attention from him.
Mizuki
£271
Born in Tokyo, designer Mizuki Goltz makes jewelery with a truly Japanese setting for brevity. These discreet earrings will be an excellent addition to the soft daytime makeup and a simple hairstyle. The thin base of a leaf-shaped form is cast from 14-carat gold and decorated with freshwater pearls. You can wear them together with basic things - shirts and cashmere sweaters. If you want them to become a noticeable accent, then just kill your hair and choose a thing with a high collar.
Céline
€420
Céline jewelery - objects at the intersection of fashion and art. They always complement the main line of clothing, so that the reasons why they look that way may be at least a dozen. These earrings with blue and red stones, despite the deliberate simplicity, literally catch the eye. Someone might say that for the same price you could have a closer look at jewelry, although of unknown brands. It's hard to argue here - everyone chooses himself. We add only that, if desired, such level jewelry can always be sold not much cheaper than the initial value.
Himère
7 500 rub.
We have already talked about the brand of jewelry Himère Dina Saghidullina. She was one of the first to start making minimalist jewelry in Russia, which later became a powerful trend. Dina worked for a long time in the field of finance, but at some point decided to drastically change her life. So favorite thing turned into the brand Himère, which produces cuffs, earrings, rings and chains. The mono-serge chosen by us can be a supplement to another earring, or it can calmly draw out a whole image on itself.
Uribe
£150
Decorations of the Uribe brand, based in London, are distinguished by architectural design, so they look like complex structures. For example, for the fall-2016 collection, the brand’s designers were inspired by the works of the Swiss architect Mario Botta - namely, his famous Seconda and Quinta chairs. This impressive hand-made earring of polished gold-plated silver and black with white agate stains implies smooth hair tucked behind the ears and a strict business suit. But no less successful, it will look with everyday clothes.
Delfina delettrez
€793
The designer of the Dolphin Delettre usually makes dramatic bright decorations with surrealistic motifs. Earrings, pendants and rings in the form of eyes and lips - the business card of the brand. This mono is more the exception. But what: a real example of the fact that minimalist objects are given to the designer just as good. Sapphire, pearl, gold, brand - these are a few reasons why it is so impressive.
Loren stewart
€211
Decorations Loren Stewart can hardly be called minimalist. Stewart often uses variegated colored stones, pearls, and in every way seeks to ostentatious luxury, although it does so subtly. We chose a pair of earrings that look quite austere: they are made of 14-carat yellow gold and are devoid of any additional decoration.
Anotherone jewelery
3 500 rub.
Another Russian jewelry brand Anotherone Jewelery was originally based in Krasnodar, and now it has moved to Moscow. They make unusual decorations from roughly processed metals, do not use stones, therefore, as noted by brand designer Nastya Korotkova, the products are “free from any decorative effect”. The girl draws inspiration from primitive primitive art. These earrings with a beautiful and speaking name Primitive Rhythm look like a piece of silver, which was first melted and then quickly cooled, so that the metal froze in motion. In addition, these are real transformers that easily turn from massive ones into neat carnations.
& Other Stories
£12
The Swedish mass market is known for a large selection of simple at first glance jewelry. Looking closer, you realize that everything is not quite so. This pair is somewhat reminiscent of the famous Dior Tribales catkins - with artificial pearls or beads from the inside of the lobe. Instead of a bead there are small rings, but they look no worse at the same time.
J. W. Anderson
12 800 rub.
Jonathan Anderson is one of the most distinctive and interesting designers of our time, whose works are incredibly interesting to watch. If there is no opportunity to spend money on the dress of his brand, then you can pay attention to the jewelry - those made of silver are relatively accessible. Another question is that they look best with avant-garde clothing of the brand, as if emphasizing its exclusivity. This pair of "peas" fascinates almost a mirror image.
