The inverted triangle is seen in so many cultures symbolising rising forces. Here they rise towards Kala – the melted black glass bead – the black point from which life begins. This pair accompany you daily and will help to recognise within and around you the stream of life constantly arising and growing.
The earrings are about 1cm long. The silver – certified recycled – is textured to imitate the grain of the sand from which glass is made. The glass beads are handmade from recycled glass by artisans in Ghana and I melt them again gently to snug into their silver case.

Silver naturally tarnishes with exposure to air.
Wash with warm water, not hot. Dilute dish soap in a sink full of warm water before adding the silver items to avoid dark spots from concentrated dish detergent.
Lemon juice works very well to clean your jewellery. Rinse clean with warm water.
This piece is part of the glass collection. In this collection I play with glass beads traditionally handmade by artisans in Ghana.
I am fascinated by this material – Glass – that is made only from sand and heat. It can change shape again and again, indefinitely, with a new purpose each time. So I work the fine silver – which is also recycled – to resemble the grainy texture of sand. I also explore traditional jewellery design from nomadic cultures in northern Africa.
