What's more luxurious than something highly considered and crafted by hand? These earrings by Auckland-based jeweller Priya Patel of 08. Jewellery are perfect for those who love a bold earring but also want something timeless.

As part of her new Series 5 collection, Priya has hand-crafted seven unique styles available in sterling silver or sterling silver plated in 9ct gold.

Highly sculptural, the drop earrings feature varying degrees of circles, spheres and cylinder shapes — playing 2D and 3D forms off one another.

Pair them with a matte lip and utilitarian piece — like this camo field jacket by Workshop ($549) — for a great way to wear the danglers in the daytime. For the evening? Pull back your hair and let your lobes do the talking, best worn with a black turtleneck or decolletage-baring top.
