The Modernist Jester's Earrings

Handmade chainmaille-inspired earrings featuring bold primary color beads, stainless steel rings, and pointed metal spike drops. 2.5" long. These one-of-a-kind earrings are inspired by medieval ornament, baroque drama, and the bold visual language of De Stijl, also known as Neo-Plasticism. The red, blue, and yellow beads nod to the movement’s iconic use of primary color, while the stainless steel chainmaille-style structure gives the piece a harder, more relic-like edge. The result is part court jester, part stained glass, part tiny modernist weapon. Each pair is handmade by me as an independent craft jeweler and chainmaille maker. The beads were sourced second-hand and, to the best of my knowledge, are glass. Because the beads are reclaimed, they may have subtle variations or small imperfections, which are part of their charm.
