Cascading Oval Stud Earrings

The Cascading Oval Stud Earrings layer several ovals into a stepped arrangement rather than presenting one flat shape. That gives a stud earring something it normally lacks entirely, which is depth. Light hits the layers at different angles, so the piece has dimension even though nothing about it moves.

This is the middle ground between a plain stud and a drop earring. It sits close to the lobe like a stud, so it stays out of the way and does not tangle, but it carries enough visual interest to work in the evening where a plain stud would look like you had not bothered.

Wear them for work, for an evening out or as an everyday pair, which is what a piece at this scale is for. Remove before showering, swimming and sleeping, and store them dry rather than loose in a bag. Plated finishes last far longer when they are kept away from water, perfume and hairspray.
