Basket Earrings by Mikkel Brøgger: Sculptural Silver and Gold for Everyday Collectors

Basket Earrings by Mikkel Brøgger: Sculptural Silver and Gold for Everyday Collectors

The Basket Earrings by Mikkel Brøgger are a study in sculptural restraint. Designed as solid, curved forms that sit close to the ear, they balance softness and strength in equal measure. Available in both sterling silver and 14k yellow gold, these earrings represent the essence of contemporary fine jewelry: minimal, enduring, and unmistakably crafted.

Handmade in New York City and engraved with the MEB hallmark, each pair reflects Mikkel Brøgger’s background in atelier-based craftsmanship and his long dedication to form, proportion, and finish.


A Sculptural Form: The Basket Shape

The Basket Earrings are defined by their curved, crescent-like silhouette. The form feels both organic and architectural, a gesture rather than a decoration. Polished to a smooth, reflective finish, they capture light without excess.

At 15 mm (5/8 inch) in length, the scale is deliberate. Large enough to register as statement earrings, yet refined enough for daily wear.

They are solid, not hollow. The weight is intentional. The presence is real.


Sterling Silver Basket Earrings

The sterling silver Basket Earrings offer a cooler, modern tone. Silver emphasizes the sculptural quality of the design, highlighting the curve and the clean polish.

Sterling silver has long been associated with studio jewelry and sculptural traditions. In this form, it feels contemporary and confident, a piece that transitions effortlessly from day to evening.

14k Yellow Gold Basket Earrings

The 14k yellow gold Basket Earrings elevate the same sculptural form into fine jewelry territory. Crafted in solid gold and polished to a high finish, they hold warmth and depth.

Gold softens the curve. It turns the piece into something intimate and enduring. These are heirloom-scale objects, made to be worn often and kept for decades.

Handmade Jewelry from the Atelier

Every pair of Basket Earrings is handmade in New York City. This is not mass production. Each curve is shaped, polished, and finished by hand. Small variations are part of the integrity of the process.

Mikkel Brøgger’s training and years spent working within the New York jewelry atelier tradition inform the restraint of the design. There are no unnecessary embellishments. Only proportion, material, and polish.


Why the Basket Earrings Endure

In a market saturated with trend-driven jewelry, the Basket Earrings stand apart because they are simple without being plain.

They sit close to the ear, framing the face rather than overwhelming it. The curve catches light. The polish reflects movement. The silhouette remains clean.

They are equally at home with a white shirt, black tailoring, or evening silk.
