Part of a new collection called ‘Fragile World’, the solitary earrings are lightweight drop earrings made with nylon coated, silverplated wire, Sterling Silver findings and recycled plastic.
The style is minimal but due to the free-form flair of the wire the earrings make a statement when worn and the glossy surface of the plastic reflects the light beautifully.
Due to the handmade nature of this item, each piece is unique and slight variations in design and finish are considered part of the beauty of the design. These earrings are very delicate and should never be bent or crushed.

The earrings are meant for occasional and evening wear and are best worn with your hair styled away from the face. They should be kept away from liquids and chemicals and when not worn be stored in their box for protection. Do not bend or crush them.
All my jewellery is inspired by contemporary architecture and urban details such as metal grids and structures. I see a stark kind of beauty in urban environments – the geometry, the patterns and the shapes.
The ‘Fragile World’ collection incorporates delicate components. Combined they create lightweight 3D sculptures. To make these I only use traditional metalsmithing tools and I enjoy the planning, sketching and craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
The solitary earrings are part of the contemporary side of the collection, using recycled plastic which is cut and folded by hand. I love incorporating old or recycled materials in my jewellery and create something that looks very contemporary.
