These vintage stud earrings have a wonderfully clean graphic quality, pairing flat polished stainless steel discs with a sweeping brass S-shaped detail across the face. The two metals create a warm-cool interplay, with the brass line curving through the silvery surface in a fluid, almost calligraphic form.

The broad circular shape gives them a strong presence at the ear, while the smooth reflective stainless steel catches changing light and surrounding colour. The brass detailing is made from fine parallel strands, adding another layer of visual texture to the simple geometric design.

A great pairing with any colour. They would also sit beautifully with patterned silk, crisp shirting, denim or a strong block colour.

ABOUT APRICOT GIFT BOUTIQUE
This exclusive range of earrings originates from Apricot Gift Boutique, a store established circa 1984 in the heart of the beachside suburb of Mairangi Bay, New Zealand. The store was owned and operated by Colombian artist Helizabeth Borrero de King, offering a snapshot of her love of fashion, style, and all that glitters. A gift and jewellery store with a little taste of everything, it catered to a diverse group of locals, fashionistas, and supported artisans. The store was known for embracing community and culture, as well as bringing a unique overseas perspective to the area. Brought to you in this collection are some of the surviving pieces from the store's closure in the early 1990s. Each piece is unique and brings joy to the wearer.
