These 'Opposition' dangle earrings by Zaida Lanning are a fabulous and original creation. The geometric earrings are crafted from sterling silver with two dramatically different finishes. The squares have a darkly oxidized finish, while the circles are gilded with a thin sheet of 22k gold using the ancient Korean keum-boo technique. This thoroughly modern piece reflects the artist's passion for preserving tradition while exploring new forms.
Peruvian-American designer Zaida Lanning was born in Sacramento and raised in Peru, where her childhood was shaped by archaeological field assignments alongside her mother and grandmother. Surrounded by history and Peruvian artistry, she developed an early love of craft, working with knitting, pottery, and recycled materials before discovering the allure of silver. Fascinated by its plasticity and brilliance, Zaida pursued jewelry-making through training workshops and further study in Cajamarca, eventually dedicating herself full-time to the art in 2006 after a long career as a librarian. Today, she works with fine Peruvian silver, often combined with colorful materials to create pieces that carry both cultural depth and contemporary design. Inspired by nature, everyday life, and even dreams, she leads a workshop where she mentors young artisans in meticulous craftsmanship. Each creation reflects Zaida’s passion for preserving tradition while exploring new forms, offering jewelry that is vibrant, personal, and enduring.
Handcrafted in Peru from 925 sterling silver and 22k gold gilt, with a combination finish. The earrings are 1 inch in length by 0.4 inches in width and feature a post-back closure.
