A collection of new pieces for Courtesy of the Artist’s: About Face- an annual exhibition celebrating the earring.
This year the theme was Monochrome. Artists were asked to design & create five pairs of earrings in a colour palette of their choice. I chose a yellow (because I wanted to use gold of course!). I started by selecting various tones of yellow & orange gemstones- Citrine, Yellow & Orange Sapphires. I bent the rules a little and made a few single earrings, so that they can be mixed and matched & selected by the wearer.
These pieces are available exclusively in store at Courtesy of the Artistin Sydney’s Strand Arcade. Please contact the gallery here for all sales & enquiries regarding these pieces.
The majority of the custom pieces I make are rings, so making an earring + pendant set was a refreshing & fun project to work on. These pieces are a similar design to myDita Studs, and Dita Necklace, but with a larger central gemstone.
I sourced some beautiful teal Australian sapphires which change between blue-green depending on the light, & cast the hand carved setting in rich 18 carat yellow gold to complement & enhance the colour of the sapphires.
These designs can be custom made in any colour combination of the metal and gemstone rainbow. Think rose gold with rubies... white gold with white diamonds... or yellow gold with emeralds... any & all possibilities.
