The Story
With these Labyrinth earrings is Janet subliminally telling us to get lost? Not a chance. Her statement is that, in the Age of Google Maps (2005-present), it’s a little hard not to know what to expect around every corner and how long it will take to get there. Her Labyrinth design, inspired by the one at Chartres Cathedral in France, is a stress-reliever disguised as an earring.

How to Wear
Wearing them, you’ll be whisked away from “clock time” and feel a sense of calm. They’re like a gold dangling meditation. When you want the real thing, we recommend consulting the Worldwide Labyrinth Locator (that's a real thing).

Curiosities
The floor of Chartres Cathedral in France, which remains one of the most-walked labyrinths today, is the most famous Medieval labyrinth.
There are two types of meanderings. The labyrinths is unicursal—there’s only one path in and out. The maze, meant to confuse, is multicursal.
There is a labyrinth at the old Summer Palace, also referred to as Yuanmingyuan, located in the outskirts of Beijing, China.
