Piece of the Week: Uniform Object’s Pillow Earrings

The emerging brand immortalizes bedding in white gold.

Inspiration can come from all kinds of sources. Nature, color and, often, particular diamonds or colored gemstones inform jewelry designers’ works.

Some look to man-made forms to develop ideas, with lots of jewelry designers citing architecture as a major influence.

Few have looked to influences as humble or as beloved as a pillow, however.

Emerging fine jewelry brand Uniform Object, maker of luxe utilitarian chains and hoops, does so in its “Pillow Earrings,” which immortalize a pillow’s soft form in hard metal.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek motif that is sure to delight those who champion self-care. One can imagine Drake, writer of viral refrain “I only love my bed and my mama I’m sorry,” sporting a pair.

Crafted in 18-karat white gold and set with a white diamond in each pillow, the sizable accessory sells for $5,000 on UniformObject.com.

These Uniform Object pillows are handmade in New York City.
