Additional Information

These earrings channel the late-’80s to early-’90s obsession with geometry, symmetry, and bold expression. The design mimics spirograph patterns—an icon of childhood creativity and retro tech aesthetics. Lightweight anodized metal in a gradient rainbow finish speaks to a time when “statement” meant oversized, playful, and unapologetically synthetic. Jewelry like this was often found at festival booths, alternative clothing shops, or mall kiosks geared toward teens and art students. It wasn’t about subtlety—it was about movement, math, and maximum surface area. Today, they survive as neon relics of analog chaos and Y2K-approaching optimism.
