Meet the Ascent Earring Cuffs! These sterling silver and gold vermeil earrings are an ode to the iconic stairs at Casa Gilardi. They start at your ear's base with a stud, then climb up with delicate steps. At the top they curve behind your ear to hold it in place while giving the illusion of a floating sphere behind your ear.
These earrings have a left and a right, but are designed to be worn as a pair or asymmetrically with another earring! You won't find anything quite like these anywhere else.

Sterling Silver:
Polished 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 gold, which is much thicker than standard gold plating. Comes in a polished finish.
When you're not rocking your jewelry, give them a cozy home in a cool, dry spot. A jewelry pouch or box works wonders to keep them safe from scratches and tangles.
To maintain the luster of your sterling silver jewelry, a jewelry cleaning cloth works wonders against tarnishing.
For gold vermeil pieces, a swift wipe with a soft cloth after wear keeps them sparkling. For a more thorough cleaning, a gentle bath in soap and water followed by a gentle pat dry should suffice. Avoid jewelry cleaning cloths, as their abrasives may wear down the gold plating over time.
Keep 'em dry! Try to avoid water, sweat, and any chemicals like perfume or lotion. These can mess with the shine and color over time. While it's tempting to wear your favorite pieces all the time, try to give them a break during activities like swimming or working out. They'll thank you for it!
