Small open-heart stud earrings in 18K gold vermeil, simple enough to wear every day.

Kris Nations casts each heart outline in recycled sterling silver and finishes it in 18K gold vermeil, at least 2.5 microns of gold over the silver. Each heart measures 7mm wide, with nothing inside the outline, so it reads light and simple. They are assembled in her Half Moon Bay, California studio and come in her glass bottle.

Wear them on their own or as the quiet piece beside a hoop. They make an easy thank-you, birthday or just-because gift for someone you love.
