The Wheel Turns - Life Force Collection - PIECE No. 4

LA ROUE TOURNE — SONIA CARLINE

What if the ear became a true fashion space, capable of revealing the singularity of a face and giving it an instantly recognizable look?

LA ROUE TOURNE is an oversized artistic ear piece designed to dress the ear as fashion dresses the body.

Oversized artistic ear piece • Recycled denim • Hand-shaped and hand-painted • 13 cm × 10.5 cm

From the Élan Vital collection, La Roue Tourne plays with circles, volumes, and colors to create a graphic piece with a strong presence.

Its large green ring creates an opening that allows the composition to breathe. At its base, blue and green shapes meet around a pink flower with a yellow heart — this superposition creates relief without visually weighing down the piece.

The blue adds depth, the green a clear luminosity, while the pink and yellow brighten the whole. A colorful, expressive, and singular creation, where geometry dialogues with the softness of the flower.

A SHAPE DESIGNED TO REVEAL THE FACE

With its 13 cm length and 10.5 cm width, La Roue Tourne embraces an oversized volume while maintaining a largely open silhouette. It is precisely this openness that gives it its balance: the circle creates presence around the ear while revealing the skin and contours of the face.

Its rounded shape frames the face like a graphic element, naturally drawing the eye to the eyes, cheekbones, and smile. The flower adds a softer touch to the geometric design and creates a bright spot near the face.

Worn on a single ear, it introduces an asymmetry that immediately asserts the singularity of the look.

A HANDCRAFTED CREATION IN RECYCLED DENIM

La Roue Tourne is made from recycled denim, transformed to become a true material for auricular fashion. Cut, shaped, painted, and assembled by hand, the denim retains its original grain and texture.

The artisanal work reveals slight variations in texture, cut, or paint. No two pieces are perfectly identical — each variation is a trace of the hand and the time dedicated to the creation.

ONE PIECE, TWO LIVES

La Roue Tourne can be experienced in two ways. Worn on the ear, it asserts, it radiates. Hung on its display board, it becomes a work of art in itself — a living decoration that continues to exist in your home when you're not wearing it.

The display board is an A4 print on 300g paper, specially created for this piece. The jewelry integrates directly into it.

THE O₂ SIGNATURE

The O₂ — symbol of oxygen — signs the Sonia Carline universe. It evokes breath, movement, and life. On La Roue Tourne, the circle naturally echoes this signature: a continuous, graphic, and instantly identifiable shape.
