There is something a bit celestial about this pair, a deep purple dome scattered with irregular flecks of gold, like a night sky caught mid shimmer, all held within a simple polished gold-tone rim. The finish has real depth to it, more mottled and organic than a flat block of colour, so the eye keeps finding new detail depending on the light. Sitting neat and close to the ear, these are wonderfully easy to wear, the sort of everyday clip on you can put on without thinking and know they will work with almost anything in your wardrobe.

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.
