VERY NEW YORK: PLUS MINUS EARRINGS BY TAFFIN

Their upbeat and intellectual approach to high jewelry generates wonderfully artistic and easily wearable pieces.

Flirtatious and vibrant, neither too solid nor too extravagant, Taffin's designs are avant-garde, unexpected and an instantly recognizable fusion of colorful stones with less common media (pebbles, wood, plastic, rubber, marble, patinated metals).

Ceramics have become Taffin’s signature material, such as these Plus Minus Earrings. The founder of the brand, James Taffin de Givenchy, has mastered this versatile and complicated material with progressive methods of ceramic-to-metal bonding, making it play by his rules.

Like a wizard's cane or a magic wand, these earrings in Victorian cut agate, rose gold and red ceramic take this curious material to a supreme level, in an elegant, aerodynamic shape and a vivid, attention-grabbing palette.
