Angela often wears mismatched earrings — it’s part of her language. Each piece is designed to stand on its own, or find its pair along the way.
Historically, sailors wore gold hoops in one ear as quiet tokens of experience — proof they had crossed the equator, rounded a cape, or simply survived the unknown. Gold also served as an emergency fund, meant to pay for a proper burial if they died far from home.
This earring holds a quiet trace of that spirit — not as nostalgia, but as strength.
