The earrings has been crafted as a left and ring, with organic patterns in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with polished and brushed finishes. They are both embellished with two asymmetric carvings of black ebony wood, which reinforce the naturalistic theme. They are fitted at the reverse with comfortable hinged omega backs for fastening clips and the addition of gold post for pierced ears may be easily done. Christopher Walling He was encouraged to pursue his artistic passions from a very young age. His father worked for the United Nations and then became an architect, while his mother was a resistance fighter during World War II.
