Yochi Lucite Earrings

If you were a camel, those big brass earrings might just be the last straw.

Between the ten-pound stack of papers you lugged home from work (again) and that veritable papoose of a trendy handbag, you’re one accessory away from a seriously busted hump.

Israeli jewelry designer Yochi offers a much-needed load off. Her carved Lucite earrings come in every imaginable color and look like they weigh as much as your run-of-the-mill jade creations. But, in fact, they’re paper-light (read: effortless to wear) and, at roughly $50 a pair, little to no stress on your wallet.

Wear them around for a few days and the world may seem like a very different place.

We trust you won’t complain too much about the unbearable lightness of being.

Available at Sandpiper, 227 Sandy Springs Place, at City Walk (404-255-7878); 4300 Paces Ferry Road, at Vinings Jubilee (770-433-2989).
