Aarikka Finland | Tango Wood and Brass Earrings

Overview

Vintage handmade earrings from the Tango series by Aarikka, Finland.

The design has a lively rhythmic form: dark wooden beads sit inside open brass wire spirals, almost like small moving planets or dance steps caught in metal. The name Tango suits them well. They have movement, balance and a little drama, while still staying light and easy to wear.

Design

The earrings combine dark blue black painted wood with warm brass tone metal. The larger wooden bead is held inside a curved wire cage, with a smaller bead above it. The brass wires circle around the wood in several lines, creating depth and a strong sense of motion.

This is a very recognizable Aarikka idea: simple materials, handmade wooden forms and a playful sculptural rhythm. The earrings are small, but the shape makes them noticeable.
