I've been looking for simple, yet elegant earrings, and the dash earrings are perfection!

These are all amazing works of art. My favorite are the "dash" shaped earrings in all their different shapes and sizes. They seem to want to be stacked and create little minimalist sculptures of all kinds.Fingers crossed*

I make a bee-line for these everytime I go to Mohawk General: One of those admire from afar pieces that I've never pulled the trigger on. I'm getting married soon, so these are pretty perfect for said nuptials and post-celebration traveling! Small dashes are it!
