About the Item

The dynamic design features a curving cross bar over an attached donut form, like some alien calligraphy. Modern and daring, these earrings are for the modern woman who collects art and has a strong personal style. Matte gold plated brass castings that are lightweight and feel secure on the ear due to the strong ear clips. Created in 1990. Robert Lee Morris makes extremely original and sculptural work. It is sensual and organic and conveys the signature hand of its maker which makes it a great collectors item.
