Diamond Huggie by Meredith Young

Specs: Diamonds burst over a dome of 18k gold with concave marks accentuating the sense of dispersion and outward energy.  Featuring .6 ctw of white diamonds, these earrings hug the ears with leverbacks for security. The satin finish contrasts with the high polish gallery on the back.

Story: These sweet earrings are part of Meredith's Supernova collection. The stars are in constant transition - expanding and contracting. They have their own life cycle, much like humans, and are in a perpetual state of transformation. In many ways, life consists of accepting the cyclical nature of being. Supernova is the collapse and subsequent explosion of a giant star, and ironically it is a death and a re-birth. Meredith encourages us to see ourselves as infinite and beyond measure. After all, a supernova is responsible for scattering heavier elements like carbon that comprise our solar system's components. We are connected to this phenomenon, and it serves as a mirror to our experience on Earth.
