Last semester, Elizabeth and I were experimenting with how to incorporate both full and half through etching into our designs and stumbled across the Olin logo as a perfect template. The half etched portion of the earring naturally shows off the silver inherent in the Olin logo. By painting the back plate blue, we used the full through etching to accurately represent the other side of the Olin O. This design caught the attention of Olin students, faculty and staff almost immediately when first introduced last semester and was, in fact, etched onto the first pair of earrings that Etchable Expressions sold.Olin O's, one of our most successful earring designs to date, is now available for purchase through the Olin Gear store! Click here to take a look.
We began thinking about how to make the Olin O earrings more personal when I received my Olin senior class ring earlier this semester. I know several friends who did not purchase class rings because they either do not wear rings or didn’t find the class ring designs particularly appealing. But what if they had pierced ears and might like Olin class earrings?
The Olin O earrings are now available with custom engraving based on a pair of earrings my mother customized for my sister (Maria, Olin ’08) last semester for Christmas. Engraving is available only if Olin O’s are purchased directly through Etchable Expressions (the pairs at Olin Gear, though available to ship immediately, do not and cannot include engraving). Plain Olin O’s that do not include engraving are $14.00, while custom engraved Olin O’s cost $16.00. For more information about available fonts and other engraving options, please leave a comment/contact us!
Elizabeth and I hope that you enjoy the design!
Cheers,
Laura
