Antiqued Pure Copper & Freshwater Pearls Sculpted Earrings
These earrings were a labour of love. I wanted to showcase how traditional materials can be reimagined into contemporary, artistic jewelry – the original design is a nod to actual Byzantine treasures found in archaeological excavations.
The idea was to create the entire shape from one piece of metal – no soldering or chemical processing (which is one of my brand choices). The big one came first, and from the cutout piece I crafted its little ‘other’. In that way and visually they belong together.
11 freshwater pearls of varying kind will dance like no one’s watching. Ok – jokes aside – watch the video and you let me know their movement isn’t making you want to move. My intention was to juxtapose that freeing dance with the rigidity of the main structure on which they hang.
Just like in life – we need our structures and routines, exactly to free us up to move in our own groove.
Which brings me to how to style them. Let yourself think freely. Prioritise feelgood and then look in the mirror and see if what you see resonates. A summer dress or a white vest would do them justice equally – but remember – beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If you decide to make them yours – you’ll know there is no another pair of them out there! And please post a pic for me to see how you decide to wear them :o)
Size | – The bigger earring is 5cm long, 3.5cm deep and 1cm wide as you look at it in front view. Both are 4mm wide at the widest part of the wave. |
