Mesmer is part of the SGRAFFITO collection. The name refers to the Austrian physician Franz Anton Mesmer, famously reputed to have invented hypnotism. The design is both primitive and modern, simple and ornate. Concentric circles of sgraffito, like a tree trunk's, are carefully scratched over two layers of enamel.
The glass is housed in a delicate sterling-silver lever-back housing that hangs closer to the ear than a dangle earring. The lever-back finding is added security that keeps the earring from falling off and getting lost.
