Sterling Silver Arc Earrings

At some point, a bent piece of silver becomes an earring. The exact moment is difficult to identify.

CY Design Studio takes solid sterling silver, gives it one clean curve and a slightly flattened front, and wisely stops there. The result is a pair of slender arc earrings that catch a little light, weigh almost nothing, and require virtually no decision-making before putting them on. At 23mm long, they’re noticeable without becoming the subject of the evening, which is an underrated quality in jewelry. Minimalism is mostly knowing when to quit.

About the Brand:  CY Design Stuiod

There are machines that can make jewelry considerably faster than Candice Yagmin. This does not appear to concern her. Since founding CY Design Studio in 2012, she has continued making jewelry by hand in Raleigh, North Carolina, cutting, shaping, filing, hammering, and polishing sterling silver, gold-filled metal, and gemstones into finished pieces. It’s an unusually analog process for a world increasingly interested in removing humans from the inconvenient middle part of making things. CY Design Studio keeps the human. The jewelry is better for it.
