THE REINHARD EDIT
Earrings collection in Athens
Earrings frame the face through scale, line and movement. Consider the impression you want before concentrating on a material or stone: a small point of light, a continuous curve or a longer gesture. The most useful reference is one that shows both the front view and the way the design sits.
Compare the earring proposals for proportion and visual character, then discuss a personal commission if you want to develop a different shape or scale. Commission bespoke earrings · Request a personal quote
The collection
Original digital design proposals. Budgets are indicative; materials, feasibility and a final quotation are confirmed through a personal consultation.
Iris
Iris sets light-catching teardrops beneath small, round accents, building each earring around a clear progression from circle to elongated curve. The contrast in scale gives the pair a graceful visual cadence, with the suspended drops forming the defining feature of the composition.
Indicative design budget: €3,900
Nike
Nike follows the rounded shape of warm-toned hoops with a restrained line of brilliance, bringing a subtle accent to their continuous curves. The interplay between the broad circular form and the finer luminous detail gives the pair a quietly defined visual identity.
Indicative design budget: €2,700
Peitho
Peitho places blue oval centres within delicate, bright borders, letting the relationship between colour and light define the pair. The surrounding outlines give each oval a clear frame, creating a composition whose visual richness remains concentrated around a simple, rounded shape.
Indicative design budget: €3,600
Tyche
Tyche explores folded, ribbon-like curves in a compact pair whose reflective surfaces bring emphasis to the changing direction of the form. Rather than relying on a central accent, the design draws its character from the folds themselves and their closely gathered silhouette.
Indicative design budget: €2,400
Aglaea
Aglaea brings together small luminous hoops and smooth, ivory-coloured drops, setting two different visual qualities within a single, clear arrangement. The brighter upper curves give way to softly coloured forms below, creating a measured contrast that defines the character of the pair.
Indicative design budget: €3,000
Thalia
Thalia arranges stepped rectangular accents above elongated, luminous teardrops, creating a distinct transition from angular geometry to a flowing outline. The sequence gives the pair its visual direction, while the extended drops draw the composition towards a clear and expressive finish.
Indicative design budget: €18,000
Stillness or movement
Compare a compact stud, a hoop and a drop as different compositions. Notice where each begins, where it ends and whether it has moving elements. Look at the design alongside your usual hairstyle, neckline and other jewellery. These are personal visual choices, rather than rules about which shapes you should wear.
A practical wearing checklist
For an actual pair, ask for its dimensions and weight per earring. Clarify the fastening type, how it opens and whether you can manage it comfortably. If you are choosing a gift, establish whether the intended wearer uses pierced or non-pierced earrings before discussing a particular design.
02
Know what the pair includes
Confirm whether the description refers to a pair or a single earring, and whether both sides are identical or deliberately different. Ask which metal is used in the body, post and fastening. Where stones are present, request their identification and any care information relevant to the finished piece.
After wearing
GIA notes that cosmetics and perfume can harm certain delicate gems. Ask for care instructions appropriate to the exact materials. Keep the pair and its fastenings organised together, and bring questions about wear, adjustment or a replacement part directly to the seller.

A comparison exercise: Iris, Nike or Tyche?
Use three proposals to identify where you want the design’s emphasis to sit. Iris leads the eye from a small round accent towards a teardrop; Nike follows a hoop with a finer line of brilliance; Tyche makes folded surfaces the main gesture. Choose the relationship that interests you, then say which element you would simplify or strengthen in a personal brief. This is a visual exercise using the digital proposals, not a comparison of confirmed products or prices. Dimensions, materials, feasibility and any adaptation remain matters for the individual commission.
- Iris: a small-to-large progression.
- Nike: a continuous curve with a finer accent.
- Tyche: changing planes without a central stone-like focus.
- Your brief: name one relationship to preserve, not three designs to combine.
