Circling Hammerheads

By framing a pair of hammerhead sharks together on these gold-tone earrings, Mike Warner mirrored the social schooling behavior these predators are known for in open water. The wide, flattened cephalofoil heads and swept-back pectoral fins are clearly rendered through thin photo-etched metal, giving each silhouette a crisp outline inside the circular border. It is a brilliant design choice for an earring set, letting the two matching shapes play off one another as they hang.
