No face is perfectly symmetrical—why should your earrings be? Handmade with a selection of vintage stones, antique objects, and semiprecious gems found on designer Grainne Morton’s travels, these mismatched sparklers share the same silhouette but tell two very different—yet equally beautiful—stories. “They’re definitely a statement…but not too precious that you can’t wear them every day,” says Tina Burgos, who recently started carrying the Scotland-made jewelry line at her Needham boutique, Covet + Lou. So go ahead, embrace asymmetry: It looks good on you.
