The Dutch Masters Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
Clara Peeters, Johannes Vermeer, Pieter Claesz, Rachel Ruysch
type description:
the person in your life who has a calming presence; they are a great listener and give you 100% of their attention when you need them. They can be intense, sometimes altogether too serious, but they are also romantic: you will always find fresh flowers in their house. They relish the small details and have many eclectic collections.
perfect gifts:
A one-of-a-kind Pearl party piece like the Mixed Pearl Party gold toggle necklace
An update on the classic pearl earring, our Pearl Ear Climbers keep you classy, and eschew stuffy tradition.
Comfortable and effortless for everyday wear, or sophisticated and fresh for a formal occasion.
Delicate, barely pink pearls on sterling silver, gold-fill, or solid 14k yellow or white gold ear wires.
Sold as a pair.
Please select your metal choice.
To wear, slide the earring into your piercing, then turn the whole earring to orient the pearls along your ear lobe. Gently pinch at the top to secure in place on your lobe if necessary. See this leaf ear climber tutorial for more help on how to wear!
We love versatility! Designed to be worn as an ear climber, but can also be oriented downward to hang below the lobe.
The Art Nouveau Affinity
Notable Artists:
Antoni Gaudi, Gustav Klimt, Jules Brunfaut, Françoise Xavier, Claude Lalanne
Type Description:
This person is torn between the beauty of the outdoors and the vibrancy of city life, so why not combine the two! This free spirit is a social butterfly who surrounds themself with nature’s beauty– no object is too mundane or utilitarian for ornament.
perfect gifts:
The Chinese Ink Painting Affinity
Notable Artists/artworks:
Shen Zhou, Zhang Daqian, Qing Dyansty Scholar Rock, Liu Dan
type description:
For the intellectual who has a large collection of books, and absolutely loves a good pen. They are contemplative and introverted. They are drawn to the mountains, for there’s nothing like a sweeping vista to inspire a song, a poem, a drawing, a conversation.
perfect gifts:
The Surrealist Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, max Ernst, Louise Bourgeois
Type description:
Enigmatic and intoxicating, this friend makes you do a double-take every time you see them. They love to surprise, are unafraid to shock, and get a thrill out of changing up their look. With a penchant for the macabre, they are excited by unexpected combinations and inspired by their own dream worlds; this friend is artistic, moody, and sometimes a bad influence when you need it.

The Renaissance Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
