“BALENCIAGA” 2017-2023 organic heart and arrow clip-on drop earrings

With a bold silhouette and a contemporary design that embraces new values, we present an exceptional contemporary earring piece from BALENCIAGA—an emblem of the Demna Gvasalia era—who continues to redefine the essence of luxury.

What draws the eye with this exquisite piece is its original form, where a sharp arrow is crossed over a heart motif drawn in flowing curves. By tightening the heart’s shape—one that might otherwise feel sweet—with a straight-arrow motif, it has been transformed into a mode-like expression that is not overly delicate.

The glossy, silver-toned metal reveals a bright, lustrous character depending on the angle at which it catches the light, and each time it sways at the ear, it highlights the streamlined silhouette. The lines that appear deliberately as if the outline of the heart were organically distorted carry a contemporary sense of dissonance distinctly characteristic of BALENCIAGA—different from the balanced beauty commonly found in existing jewelry.

The composition features an arrow crossing through the center of the heart, and overlapping motifs create a sense of depth and dimensionality. From the front, it is seen as an elegant drop design, yet from the side or with movement, multiple curves appear layered. As a result, even when styled with simple outfits, it delivers a definite presence at the ear.

The clasp that fastens behind the ear is a spring-clip type and includes a white silicone pad. Since it does not require piercing, it is easy to incorporate as an earring; the finish also reflects careful consideration for wear, beyond its design appeal.

On the included box, a BALENCIAGA logo is printed in bold sans-serif type introduced from the fall/winter 2017 season, and the interior features a black velvet-like insert. The brand’s refined, composed packaging is also a highlight: the subdued black interior that looks beautiful even when the jewelry is placed inside further enhances the brilliance of the accessory itself.

Based on the new logo specifications seen on the included box from the fall/winter 2017 season onward, the contemporary clip closure with a silicone pad, and the contemporary structure combining a streamlined heart and arrow, this piece can be identified as having been made during the Demna Gvasalia era, from around 2017 to 2023.

While it is a heart motif, its sweetness is restrained. You can enjoy it not only when leaning toward a feminine look, but also as a mode-inspired accessory regardless of gender. We especially recommend it for those who want to change the impression around the face with oversized jewelry, and for those who want to keep their clothing simple while adding individuality with a single statement design.

For styling, pair a black tailored jacket with a white shirt, and introduce this piece at the ears to add a distinctly BALENCIAGA-like sense of dissonance to an otherwise refined ensemble. If you match it with a black knit dress or a charcoal-gray setup, the silver-toned gloss will stand out quietly; by keeping the necklace minimal and making the earrings the focal point, you can achieve an even more polished impression.

This is contemporary jewelry that lets you enjoy both the heart’s approachability and the arrow’s linear tension at the same time.

We invite you to seize this opportunity.
