Gilded Cosmic Ray
The earring is a long, elaborate gold-tone dangle design with multiple geometric and symbolic elements.
Here is a detailed description of its features:
Core Design and Materials
• Type: Single long dangle or drop earring.
• Metal Color: Polished gold-tone or brass, with a smooth, reflective finish on most parts.
• Attachment: The topmost element is a gold-tone open hoop with a small latch or eyelet at the top, likely a sleeper or huggie-style hoop designed to attach directly to the earlobe. It looks like the main earring body hangs from this hook via a small jump ring.
Construction and Layout
The earring body is composed of a chain of connected, layered metal shapes, creating a complex, cascading structure that measures approximately 4.5 to 5 inches in length. It features a recurring pattern of geometric shapes layered together:
1. Layered Top Section:
• Below the attachment hook is a medium-sized, highly polished gold-tone circle.
• This circle frames a smaller, solid-metal rhombus (diamond shape) made of thin gold wire, which is layered directly over the center of the circle.
2. Large Middle Sections (Repeated Pattern):
• There are two larger, nearly identical repeating units positioned in the middle of the earring.
• Each of these units consists of a large, polished gold-tone circle.
• Inside each large circle is a gold wire rhombus that is layered over the center.
• A smaller, independent charm hangs directly from the top point of the wire rhombus inside these circles.
• These charms are gold-tone "sunburst" or "starburst" shapes, featuring radiating rays.
• The center of each sunburst charm holds a single, prong-set, round faceted red evil eye rhinestone, adding a pop of color and sparkle.
3. Bottom-most Section:
• The final, lowest section hangs below the large middle sections and contains a variation of the design, omitting the sunburst charm.
• It features a smaller gold-tone circle (similar in size to the top section's circle).
• This bottom circle is layered with two smaller, nested gold wire rhombuses (diamond shapes), one slightly smaller than the other, positioned directly in the center.
The earring combines a trendy, architectural geometric design (using concentric circles and overlapping rhombuses) with more traditional, symbolic elements like the sunburst, making it a distinctive and bohemian-inspired statement piece.
