The Faceted Diamond Concrete Earring with Gold Leaf reimagines a classic gemstone silhouette through an industrial lens. Hand-cast in concrete and shaped into a softly angular, diamond-like form, each piece is finished with hand-applied 24k gold leaf that catches the light across its faceted planes.

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

About the artist: Since beginning his practice in 1969, Jim Cotter has operated with a singular philosophy: jewelry is not merely decoration, but a sculptural form—intimate, physical, and alive. Known for his playful approach to art and life, Cotter is a pioneer in the use of alternative materials, seamlessly marrying precious metals and diamonds with steel, concrete, Styrofoam, river rocks, and found objects. Each piece is handcrafted from start to finish in his studio in Minturn, Colorado. Learn more here.
