Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →

Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.

18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →

Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →

Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Fluid 🖤 Wax in motion, raindrops gathered — sculptural forms cast to glow

The Fluid Dewdrop Stud Earrings are handmade sterling silver studs featuring a 3mm natural blue sapphire cast directly into each piece, with a highly textured organic surface approximately 7mm across. Made to order in Auckland, New Zealand, they make an ideal everyday earring, September birthstone gift, or 5th and 45th anniversary present.

If you want earrings that reward a second look, these are them. Small enough to wear every day or layer in a secondary piercing, with real texture, an irregular organic outline, and a flash of deep blue sapphire that catches the light. The kind of studs you put in on a Monday morning and forget to take off.

Marking a Moment?

Sapphire is the birthstone for September — so if there's a birthday coming up, these are a quietly special way to mark it. They're also the traditional stone for 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries, and a meaningful choice for anyone who simply loves blue.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, saying thank you, or treating yourself to something made with real care — the Dewdrop studs are a piece that carries weight without making a fuss about it.

My birthstone guide by month and wedding anniversary gift guide have the full rundown if you're choosing for a specific date.

Yours Will Be One of a Kind

Because each Dewdrop is individually cast, no two will ever be exactly alike — not even the two in the same pair. The photos show you what to expect, but your studs will have their own subtle quirks in shape and texture. That's not a flaw; it's the whole point of handmade.

Made to Order

Your earrings are made especially for you in my Auckland studio. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for crafting before they're posted to you.

Care

Store in a soft pouch away from other jewellery to protect the surface. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to perfume, lotions, and chlorine.
