Vanassa Chan, founder & designer of PURSUITS, draws her inspiration from design, architecture, and fashion. She earned her bachelor's degree in interior design in the United Kingdom and worked for years as a designer in Canada before launching PURSUITS in 2014. Her background in interior architecture has deeply influenced her jewelry designs, and traces of her past career can be seen in the playful way she approaches composition and geometry. Her passion and desire to create pushes her to experiment with new materials: exploring combinations of surface and shape and their potential as wearable art.
Bold in form yet light in feel, the Circa Earrings feature fluid hand-looped wire paired with sculptural concave metal accents that create movement, contrast, and balance. Each pair is individually shaped by hand, celebrating subtle organic variations unique to every piece. Glass Aqua (GQ), Glass Grey (GG), and Glass Amber (GA) combine matte black wirework with translucent glass beads and smaller metallic details for a more playful artistic expression. Silver Aqua (SSQ) and Gold Grey (SGG) feature enlarged metallic focal elements that bring added sculptural depth and modern elegance to the design.
