Earring design...??

What kind of design are these earrings? Do they look like something to you? I don't see it.

I think those are strange. What do those numbers mean?...and the dial with the tick markings...weird!

@Desertdi

That's what they are!! Thank you!

But why would someone design an earring like that??

I suppose, if you're someone who works in STEM careers, they might be considered fun.

My degree was in biology and my career in I.T., but I still wouldn't buy these!

(At least they did a left and right design! )

You beat me to it @Desertdi. I still have one but can't remember the last time I used it. I still have my compass too. Never know when you need a perfect circle or 1/2 circle.

@SilleeMee We could ask Ms. Lola @lolakimono

Earrings for the person who likes to look at life from all angles.

For the person who likes to keep things in line.

Perfect for those who are analytical and precise.

@SilleeMee They look to me like gears, inner parts of a watch or portions of a protractor. They could be replicating the dial on a camera to enlarge the photo....OR a combo of all of these.

@Shanus

I was looking around and found a jewelry designer who makes the same style of earrings and also a matching pendant. The designer calls them "Contractor Earrings" in gold which sell for over $3800 and they are sold out.

Someone had one too many when they designed those.

@SilleeMee - $3800??? Yikes!

@SilleeMee @They are supposed to be protractors.

@SilleeMee Very industrial looking, right? I had read that bigger earrings are making a comback. Why? Dainty jewelry has been "in" for years and people weren't adding to their collection. Change the style and hopefully women will want the "new". Menswear is in for fall/winter and the larger earring has a more feminine vibe. Statement necklaces and/or bolder chains and cuffs are being seen, too.

Gee whiz, in .950 or 14k+ I'd LOVE THEM and would wear them with anything short of chiffon.

I was one of those kids who LOVED geometry, so everyone in my math class hated me.

This discussion is actually kind of amusing in a sad sort of way.

Are my G clef earrings offensive? Ugly? Would they be more so if they were burly BASS CLEFS instead of dainty treble?

I have at least a few sets of earrings that are keys or flowers or other readily identifiable forms.

Is this thread MATH angst?
