The Design

About Acacia Oorbel

De ontwerper was gefascineerd door de geometrische vorm van een zaadje dat zijn dochter hem had gegeven en hij begon aan het ontwerp. In de natuur is niets compleet en is alles compleet is de eerste gedachte die men kan bedenken bij het zien van dit paar oorbellen. De ring heeft een gladde en mooie vorm en de edelstenen zijn als het zaad dat uit de grond komt en zwaait om je aandacht. Het is heel uniek, de natuur en natuurlijk de sieraden.
