A tangle of gold-tone leaves and ribbon curls forms the base of this pair, textured and dimensional, the kind of detailing you only get from older, more considered casting techniques. Scattered through the foliage sits a confetti of round diamanté in amethyst, emerald, topaz and clear, set close together so the whole cluster reads as one continuous, glittering bloom rather than a collection of separate stones. There is a lot going on here, in the best possible way, layers of texture and colour that reward a second look. A strong choice for anyone who likes their jewellery with a bit of story and a fair bit of sparkle.

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.
