These tactile and bright earrings have such a wonderful combination of colour and texture thanks to the brutalist era impacting jewellery design in Australia.
A truly unique and new aesthetic, some would say the brutalist era is easily the most eye catching, extreme and unique period of jewellery design. The Brutalist era encompassed a celebration of raw, natural and unpolished forms and the style was hugely influenced by the Brutalist architecture movement. It is defined by its highly textured appearance which often featuring uneven edges, bold shapes and sculptural appearance. It was well removed from the traditional delicate style of the previous decades. It showed us that beauty could be natural, rough and unpolished, that the beauty of these pieces and their components was in their imperfections. It let jewellers unleash their designs as they no longer had to conform to standardised beauty.
The bright and cool blues of these Australian sapphires really work so well with the cool white gold staggered bars of this design. Truly something unusual and special whilst still being so wearable. Light wear to gold and sapphires
