2.1 grams. The Coil is a single line, wound around itself until it becomes volume — and because almost all of it is open space, the weight disappears.
For those who love movement. The spiral leads the eye: there is no point where the piece begins or ends, so it changes with the angle. It’s an earring that works well with hair worn down, because it appears and disappears as you move instead of standing still.
The formal principle. The spiral is one of the oldest forms there is — shell, fern, galaxy — and it always stands for the same thing: growth that never repeats, yet never stops. In the Coil it is translated into a regular cross-section and a constant pitch, which gives the piece the reading of a technical object without erasing its organic origin.

FAQ
Is it plastic?
It’s PLA, a polymer made from a renewable plant source — it doesn’t come from petroleum. And it is precisely because it isn’t metal that a piece this size weighs so little.
If it’s biodegradable, will it fall apart over time?
No. PLA only breaks down in industrial composting, under controlled heat and humidity. In a drawer and in everyday wear, it is stable for years.
Will it hurt my ear? Can it cause an allergy?
The post is stainless steel, specified as anti-allergy. Weight is the other half of the answer: an earring this size in metal easily goes over 20 g each, which pulls on the piercing all day.
Can it get wet?
Better not. Take it off to shower and swim, and keep it away from pools and the sea.
How long until it arrives?
If it’s in stock, it ships the same day. Made to order, it’s ready in 1 to 3 business days.
How many pieces come in the box?
The pair.
Details
What is the post made of?
Stainless steel, specified to our supplier as anti-allergy.
Is it heavy on the ear?
The weight in the specifications above is always per earring — it's what each ear carries. The pieces are hollow, which keeps them light even at larger scales.
How long until it leaves the studio?
Ready-to-ship pieces leave as soon as payment is confirmed. Made-to-order pieces take one to three business days.
Is this plastic?
It doesn't come from petroleum. The piece is printed in PLA, a plant-based polymer — the same material across all of the studio's production.
Can it get wet?
Best not. Take the piece off to wash your hands, shower or swim, and leave it out of the pool and the beach. Store it dry, away from sunlight.
Can it take heat?
Up to 50 °C. Above that, PLA softens — the dashboard of a closed car in the sun goes over 60 °C, so don't leave the piece there.
Do you ship outside Brazil?
