Earring Matsu

Floral-inspired movable element earring in satin-finish 925 silver

Nicole Schuster is inspired by the relationship between architecture and nature, between geometric constructions and organic forms, with a particular focus on growth and change.
A 21st-century goldsmith, she combines craftsmanship with the use of virtual creation tools as enriching elements for the development of complex shapes and materials.

The name of this piece refers to the Matsu, the Japanese pine: an evergreen tree, essential to the Japanese landscape and culture.
Known for its longevity and ability to withstand wind and weather, it is a symbol of perseverance, inner strength, and rebirth.
Its thin, double needles are often associated with the harmony between two energies, with couples, and with lasting bonds.

In this intertwined form, Nicole Schuster transforms the tree into a symbol, and the symbol into a jewel.
