What are collectible motif earrings?


You see in the ad, right below the name Mississippi, we write "collectible motif earrings". What do these words really mean?

'Collectible' refers to the lasting qualities of our designs as opposed to 'junkness' of a lot of jewelry available these days. And when I say 'junkness' I mean, you wouldn't necessarily be hurt if you lost your junk jewelry, unless you've paid a hefty sum when buying. 'Junkness' also refers to what we typically call 'artificial jewelry'.

Motif? In the above design, the inspiration is a heart. You can see in the design, traces of the shape of a heart. Likewise, designs draw inspiration from many other shapes/motifs like flowers, leaves, rectangles, sandunes, mango (keri), twisted shapes, etc.

Hope the collectible motif earrings become more understandable now. Here are some of the motif-based collections at Mississippi (missi.in).

Dunes Earrings (inspired by Sandunes)
Keri Earrings (inspired by Mango)
Micronas Earrings (based on micro-paved diamond-laying technology)
Rexy Earrings (Rectangular + Sexy :))
Savior Earrings (inspired by Leaves & Trees)
Smile of God Earrings (inspired by Flowers)
Twistles Earrings (Twisted Shapes)

We are working on some more collections too.

So what motifs do you have in your collection of earrings or jewelry?
