My homie Camille over at Peace Images has an impeccable record when it comes to crafting innovative jewelry designs that reference urban culture without ever lampooning it. Part of her latest genial batch: the "I Got It Made" earrings pictured above, which nod to '80s hip-hop fashions with a shape modeled after the massive door knockers worn by everyone from Roxanne Shanté to the Salt-n-Pepa gang. But the mammoth, bulbous silhouette of this classic hip-hop style accessory has been streamlined here and given a more angular, geometric shape, with lines so steep they could have been drafted using an architect's protractor triangle tool. These ultra fresh earrings are so narrow in width that they feel like slithers, adding to their modern edge.
These lightweight earrings, named after the classic Special Ed cut, are available in black acrylic or a walnut-like wood and measure 3.5" in height.
Time to knock on heaven's door with these updated door knockers!
