Filtered Light Earrings – Sterling Silver

Want statement earrings without the weight or predictability of a solid, oversized design? Filtered Light Earrings are handcrafted sterling silver dangle earrings measuring approximately 39 × 24 mm and weighing 2.7 g each, so they bring visual presence to a simple outfit while remaining light enough for everyday wear. Irregular pierced openings and oxidised detail create changing patterns of light, shadow and skin as you move. Made and hand-finished in my Mt Eden, Auckland studio.

Quick Answers

Are the Filtered Light Earrings heavy to wear?
No. The pierced construction removes weight while retaining the presence of the larger sculptural form. Each earring weighs approximately 2.7 g.

Will they work with a simple outfit?
Yes. Their sculptural shape and oxidised contrast add interest to clean, understated clothing without needing other statement pieces.

Why is the silver oxidised?
Oxidising darkens selected areas of the silver and increases the contrast around the pierced openings, making the spaces within the design more visible.

Will the oxidised finish change?
Yes. Oxidisation is a surface treatment that naturally softens and changes with handling and wear. This becomes part of the character of the finish.

Are the earrings exactly the same?
Small variations are part of the hand-finishing process. Each pair is made as a balanced set rather than machine-perfect repetition.

Style & Inspiration

Choose Filtered Light when you want an outfit to feel more intentional without adding something loud or overly formal. The open construction keeps the earrings visually striking but light on the ear, making them easy to reach for with a plain shirt, black knitwear, denim or other simple everyday clothing.

The irregular openings let glimpses of skin, shadow and whatever sits behind the earring move through the design, so the earrings change as you do. Wear them alone and let the shape do the work, or pair them with textured and oxidised silver pieces without trying to match everything too precisely.

Artful without being difficult to wear, Filtered Light is designed to give a simple outfit a point of view.
