Lunaria drop earrings with gold
Lunaria drop earrings with gold
These pieces in the Lunaria Collection include a touch of 24ct gold, applied using the ancient Korean technique of Keum Boo. Inspired by the delicate beauty of the honesty seedpod (Lunaria Annua), these earrings showcase a fusion of fine silver and gold accent.
Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, handcrafted in my garden studio using eco-friendly silver metal clay and sustainable practices. The Keum Boo technique allows for intricate gold details to be layered onto the silver, capturing the fragility of the honesty seedpod.
Lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear, the Lunaria Collection celebrates the uniqueness and delicacy found in nature.
Embrace the spirit of Lunaria Annua, a symbol of openness and truth, and empower yourself with a piece of handcrafted, sustainable jewellery.
additional information
lunaria drop earrings with gold
The pieces in the Lunaria Collection are created using silver metal clay, which is ‘sculptured’ and then fired to reveal pure fine (999) silver. A fine foil of 24ct gold has then been applied using a technique known as ‘Keum Boo’ which uses heat to bond the gold onto the silver. Unlike the other pieces in this collection, these earrings do not represent the traditional ‘moon’ shape of the honesty seedpod, but rather reflect a more organic shape inspired by some seedpods I collected during a walk in the woods. The silver and gold have been layered to achieve the rather haphazard patterns found in nature.
The earring hooks are are handmade from sterling silver.
measurements
This pair of drop earrings measures approximately 12mm across with a drop from the base of the earring hook of just over 12mm.
sustainability
Silver metal clay is a sustainable medium. It is most often created from recycled silver particles, which minimizes the environmental impact of fresh mining. There is no waste when working with silver metal clay - every particle and speck of dust is collected and reconstituted into clay to be used again and again.
