Spirals complement every face shape. Weeks were spent experimenting with the correct weight and shape to make sure these swirls would be perfectly balanced. The result was simply beautiful sterling gold hoop earrings.

Q always finds inspiration when traveling, and beaches with crystal clear water have incredible sea shells. Swirls, or spirals, are one of the repeating patterns found in nature. For example, the Nautilus, a meticulous craftsman, designs its shell in a shape called an equiangular spiral. This precise curve develops naturally as the shell increases in size but does not change its shape, ever growing but never changing its proportions.

The mathematical equation based on the Fibonacci sequence found in nature, art and design is called the Golden Ratio. Spirals and self-similar curves have long been appreciated for their charm and beauty, but no one can really explain why they are echoed so clearly in the world of art and nature. From architecture to jewelry to cave paintings, this spiral has pleased humans throughout the ages -- and these swirl hoops are a perfect example of that.
