Piece of the Week: Nakard’s Pyrite Earrings
The trendy, metallic earrings wink at classic spring colors.
Spring is finally in our midst, and nothing inspires a wardrobe assessment like warmer weather.
Metal styles had a moment this winter, and these shiny fringe earrings with baguette-cut pyrite are the perfect transition piece for those sticking to the trend in the new season.
This week’s “Piece of the Week” pick, the “Nagano” earrings, features small, linked tiles of fool’s gold, giving them a unique metallic texture and dynamic movement.
The subtle pop of color in the seafoam green enamel is also a playful nod to the traditional spring pastel palette.
The earrings come from Nakard’s “Baguette Tile” collection, which blends Art Deco and ‘70s aesthetics in an offering of unisex pieces.
Founder Nak Armstrong, who launched his eponymous label in 2011, developed his diffusion line, “Nakard,” in 2020 to explore luxe design and wearability in a sterling silver format.
The “Nagano” earrings in pyrite and seafoam enamel retail for $1,550.
