The Armando stud and chain earring is named after a friend of Matt's, the namesake for the MC Chain earring. As Armando is a fan of the design of Matt's piece, Sandrine decided to design a version of the stud and chain earring with a few personal twists.
Compelled by a vision of a glowing full moon behind shimmering mists above a lake in Japan, Sandrine designed the stud and chain earring using circles of solid fairmined 18 carat gold in the signature style of the Mind Bubbles collection, and dangling oxidised sterling silver chains dotted with more golden bubbles.
The stylised rendition of the Japanese landscape as a stud and chain earring perfectly matched Armando's as-yet untold desires to visit Japan, the earring becoming a representation of his adventurous spirit.
The piece of mixed metal jewelry has become one of Sandrine's favourites, and she often pairs it with the Paula gold stud earring. The armando stud and chain earring has been thoroughly tested for durability, so while the chains seem delicate, they are incredibly resilient.
The Mind Bubbles collection was designed to encourage you to explore your identity and embrace your authenticity as you mix and match pieces, like pairing Armando with the single stud earrings to create a unique earscape.
