The Design

About Acacia Øredobber

Designeren ble fascinert av den geometriske formen til et frø gitt til ham av datteren hans, og han startet designet. I naturen er ingenting komplett og alt er komplett er den første tanken man kan tenke når man ser dette paret med øredobber. Ringen har en glatt og vakker form, og edelstenene er som frøet som kommer ut fra bakken, og vinker etter din oppmerksomhet. Det er veldig unikt, naturen og selvfølgelig smykkene.
