About the Item

Liquid Geometry, the essence of the work of Robert Lee Morris, is exemplified in these softly dangling earrings. Polish silver, the individual sections are linked with a rivet and create a flowing flexible moving earring that catches the light like diamonds. Clip on earrings, these are handmade and extremely lightweight, The design concept came from a body of work that Robert did for Donna Karan when she was working at Ann Klein, and the snake scale concept became necklaces, body wraps and earrings that were up to 12" long. these are the commercial version of these gorgeous earrings, and are affordable, wearable and classic.
