OUTSIDE-THE-BOX OSCAR BETZ. 

Still very much in his recognizable signature style – what we call #OscarObvious – these statement dangles play with a unique silhouette. An open-work spin on his traditional two-tiered hinge earrings, these dangles feature 6-stone stud anchors and 9 teardrop turquoise stones arranged around an open frame of sterling silver rope. The shape is chic and the matrix of the stones is simply beautiful. You can have a pair of Oscars unlike anyone else!
