The Story
With these earrings, is Janet subliminally telling us to get lost? Not even. 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 design, inspired by the Chartres Cathedral in France, is a stress-reliever disguised as an earring.

How to Wear
Wearing these labyrinth earrings, you’ll be whisked away from “clock time” and feel a sense of calm. They’re like a gold or silver dangling meditation. When you want the real thing, we recommend consulting the Worldwide Labyrinth Locator.

Curiosities
The official White House photographer Pete Souza's caught President Obama and his family in a yoga class on a Chartes inspired labyrinth in 2016. The hardwood labyrinth is in the center of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICOE) which treats vets with brain injuries. When not used for walking mediation, the labyrinth provides a sun-filled meeting space for small group activities such as the yoga session.
Beware—not all circuitous paths are labyrinths. Mazes, for example, are completely different; they may have one correct path, but are designed to trick someone into hitting a dead end or getting lost. If you associate the word “labyrinth” with the Minotaur of Daedalus or David Bowie’s Goblin King, you’ve been mislead. Unlike those pop culture mazes, real labyrinths only have one route and contain no wrong turns. They aren’t puzzles; they are meditations.
