Usire Collection: A Versatile and Harmonious Earring Design

Breaking Patterns with Brazil & Murgel Contemporary Jewelry

The Usire Collection by Brazil & Murgel Contemporary Jewelry is a unique and versatile earring design that breaks away from the monotony of symmetry. Inspired by spontaneous experimentation with free forms, these earrings offer a harmonious balance of shapes and a sense of asymmetry that captivates the eye.

One of the standout features of the Usire earrings is their ability to create atypical compositions, allowing for a great versatility in styling. The collection consists of an original earring shape that is worn on one ear, while the wearer can choose from a variety of shapes derived from it for the other ear. These variations, defined by proportional relationships, invite the wearer to create multiple pairs of earrings and explore both symmetric and asymmetric compositions.

The asymmetry and the slight tension between the organic and straight lines of the Usire earrings evoke an emotional reaction, sharpening the eye and nurturing curiosity for form and detail. The contrasting polish and satin finishes, as well as the tonalities of the gold and its surroundings, further enhance the visual appeal of these exquisite pieces.

Handmade from bent and cut 18k yellow gold sheet, the Usire earrings showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Brazil & Murgel Contemporary Jewelry is known for. With a weight of 5g and dimensions of 20mm width, 7mm depth, and 51mm height, these earrings make a bold statement while remaining elegant and wearable.

The Usire Collection is delivered in the signature B&M handmade wooden box, adding a touch of luxury to the overall experience. The project, which started in November 2014 in São Paulo, Brazil, took approximately two weeks from the initial roughs to the final pieces, reflecting the dedication and passion of the design team.

Recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, the Usire Collection was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade celebrates the remarkable level of excellence, technical skill, and artistic talent demonstrated by the collection, eliciting positive feelings of amazement and wonder.

The Usire Collection by Brazil & Murgel Contemporary Jewelry is a testament to the power of asymmetry and the beauty of breaking patterns. With its versatility, harmonious forms, and attention to detail, these earrings are a must-have for those who appreciate unique and captivating design.
