About Acacia Earring
The designer was fascinated by the geometrical form of a seed given to him by his daughter and he started the design.

The ring has a smooth and beautiful shape, and the precious stones are like the seed coming out from the ground, waving for your attention. It's very unique, the nature, and of course the jewelry.
