What to Know About Kamala Harris’ Controversial Debate Earrings

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s “disaster” of a debate with Kamala Harris Tuesday night, his campaign and supporters offered up an assortment of aggrieved talking points. ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis had ganged up on him—and gone easy on Harris. The fact-checking was uneven, and unexpected. The topics discussed—and omitted—were all wrong. And Harris had also engaged, allegedly, in some James Bond-worthy tech shenanigans, wearing “smart audio”-enabled earrings to communicate with her debate team as the night played out.

Appearing at the debate in a safe, dark pantsuit and ivory pussybow blouse, it was Harris’ choice of accessories that stood out. The chunky gold and pearl-adorned earrings—which she has donned previously, and wore again on Wednesday morning to a ceremony marking the anniversary of 9/11 in New York City—are a design from luxury jewelry brand Tiffany’s “HardWear” collection, a press representative confirmed to the Daily Beast Wednesday.

The collection “embodies an enduring resilience and ability to be free,” per Tiffany’s website. A pair of “HardWearDouble Pearl Hinged Earrings in Sterling Silver” retails for $800. The design is not currently available in gold, however. And, perhaps most importantly, it does not offer any wearable tech capabilities.
