Hand-cast in concrete and finished with luminous 24k gold leaf, the Large Circle Concrete Earring by J. Cotter balances industrial material with delicate surface detail. Each 1-inch diameter form is individually made, resulting in subtle variations that highlight the porous character of concrete and the organic application of gold. Fitted with stainless steel post backs, the earrings sit cleanly on the ear, offering a bold yet refined geometric presence.

Concrete is a natural, porous material and will gradually age, developing its own unique character and patina through time and wear.
