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
Medieval labyrinths were not simply ornamental but represented the spiritual path to God. Today they can be used for a path to meditation or mindfulness.

Curiosities
Artist Eduardo Aguilera originally built Lands End labyrinth in secrecy in 2004. Located on a craggy outcropping at the edge of San Francisco’s Mile Rock Beach overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, the path is tucked away from view. At least three times since it was built, the labyrinth has been destroyed by vandals in the dead of night. The labyrinth is such a revered place that it’s always rebuilt within days, most recently by the labyrinth’s unofficial caretaker and a group of 50 volunteers.
