Ascent Earring Cuff (Last Edition)

Last editions made in sterling silver and gold vermeil — softer by nature than our new steel designs.

Meet the original Ascent Earring Cuffs, the first edition of this design, handcrafted in sterling silver and gold vermeil and inspired by the staircase at Casa Gilardi.

They begin with a simple stud at the base of the ear, then ascend in sculptural steps, curving softly behind the ear to create the illusion of a floating sphere. Each side is shaped intentionally, so there is a left and a right, and they can be worn as a pair or mixed into an asymmetrical ear stack.

Because of their slender shape and airy silhouette, these original editions are more delicate than the newer stainless steel version. Please handle and adjust them gently, especially when putting them on and taking them off. When cared for with intention, they’re beautifully lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Materials:

• 925 Sterling Silver
• 18k Gold Vermeil: (pronounced vehr-may; it's French!)
  is a legally regulated term that refers to sterling silver jewelry that is plated with 2.5 microns of 18k gold—significantly thicker than standard gold plating for lasting luxury and rich color depth.

Care Tips

• Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time—part of its authentic charm. Polish with a silver cloth to restore brilliant shine whenever desired.
• For vermeil pieces, gentle care preserves the gold layer: avoid polishing compounds and stick to a soft, dry cloth.
• Store in airtight containers to maintain optimal condition.
• Pro tip or sterling silver: Regular wear actually helps prevent tarnishing—your body's natural oils keep the metal polished.
