These might be called the Roses from Gaia earrings—Gaia is the earth goddess, and they're made of a rosy alloy of copper and silver, two metals that come from the ground. But we've taken to calling them the opera earrings, because they look an awful lot like the spectacular chandeliers at the Met (minus all that sparkle). This hardly means they're suited just for the Wagner set, though—they can handle some serious rocking out.
What to know: Made in NYC from rose silver, an alloy of reclaimed silver and copper; sterling silver posts; measure 7/8 inch tall and ½ inch wide.
