Rye Earrings

The Rye Earring plays with line and curve to create a shape that feels both minimal and expressive. A single piece of metal bends into a soft loop below and behind the lobe while a clean vertical bar rises above—creating the illusion of two earrings in one.

The result is modern, lightweight, and quietly bold. The kind of piece that looks thoughtfully styled, even when you didn’t try that hard.

Baleen is a zero waste jewelry studio, meaning that they collect all of their waste metal and send it to a mill in the USA that recycles it and turns it into usable material. They purchase recycled metal from this same mill, keeping their process as circular as possible. 99% of the metal that they use is recycled.
