Piece of the Week: Suzanne Syz’s ‘Wrap It Up’ Earrings
These baubles are appropriate for the most wonderful time of the year.

Wrapping holiday gifts is much more fun if one is equipped with the right accessory, and Suzanne Syz has made just the pair of earrings for the occasion.
Syz’s “Wrap It Up” earrings are an apt ambassador of the Geneva-based designer’s body of work--they are technically innovative, unique from anything else on the market and their kitschy, Pop Art representation of an everyday item is unabashedly joyful.
Syz has created only eight limited-edition pairs of these earrings in various vivid shades of aluminum. Each set boasts 90 white diamonds totaling 0.83 carats.
They’re available through inquiry on SuzanneSyz.ch. Price available upon request.
