Where sacred geometry meets shifting light.
The lotus outline does the structural work here: clean, open metalwork that catches the eye without overwhelming it. Stainless steel keeps the silhouette crisp and lightweight. But the real show happens below, where Austrian crystal drops shift from deep violet to soft blush depending on how the light hits them.
At two inches from the earlobe, these have enough presence to turn heads without pulling at your ears. The movement is graceful, not frantic. Small accent crystals on the sterling silver ear wires echo the main drops, tying the whole composition together.
"I wanted the lotus to frame without competing. The cutwork is deliberately minimal so your eye goes straight to the crystal. And those Austrian crystals earned their spot because they actually do something interesting in the light. Static sparkle is easy. This shifts."
The Artistry in the Details
- Color in motion: Austrian crystals shift from violet to rose to seafoam depending on the angle and light source.
- Structural grace: Open lotus cutwork keeps visual weight low while maximizing the design's impact.
- Sterling silver ear wires: Solid sterling for sensitive ears, finished with matching accent crystals.
- Balanced movement: Two-inch drop length provides elegant sway without excessive swing.
The Ritual
These work for weekday polish or weekend sparkle. The color shift reads differently under office lighting versus candlelight versus daylight, so expect compliments in all three. Store flat or hanging to protect the crystal finish.

Clean lines. Bold sparkle. Let the light do the talking.
Daily Wear: Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfumes, and hairspray have dried. These can dull metals and cloud crystals over time.
Storage: Use the soft pouch we included. It prevents scratches and keeps pieces from tangling. If you're storing multiple pieces, keep them separate so chains don't knot and stones don't chip each other.
Cleaning: A soft, dry cloth is usually all you need. For brass and copper, a gentle polish restores shine. Avoid chemical cleaners on crystals.
Remove Before: Swimming, showering, hot tubs, dishes, and sleeping. Chlorine and salt water are hard on metals. Snagging a delicate wire in your sleep is harder on you.
Embrace the Patina: Brass and copper develop character over time. Some people love the warm, aged look. If you prefer bright and shiny, a polishing cloth brings it back.
Are the ear wires hypoallergenic?Ā Yes. The ear wires are solid .925 sterling silver, which is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive ears.
What makes the crystals change color?Ā The Austrian crystals have an iridescent coating that refracts light differently depending on the angle. You'll see shifts from violet to soft rose to hints of seafoam as you move.
How should I care for these earrings?Ā Store flat or hanging to avoid scratching the crystal finish. Wipe gently with a soft cloth if needed. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairspray to preserve the coating.
