The Ironhook Earring is a sterling silver earring built as a hook, its form taken from the carabiner, the sprung metal clip used in climbing and rigging, rather than from any tradi tional earring shape. It reads as a working object first and an ornament second.The hook is not an attachment to the design; it is the design, which is what separates the piece from a hoop or a drop, where the fitting is hidden and the ornament hangs from it. It is industrial hardware worn as jewelry, a functional form rather than a symbolic or religious one. Show more
