Tapered. Textured. Timeless.
These long, sculptural earrings are part of the Wrapped collection — a series shaped around hollow, tapered columns in fine silver. Lightweight and full of movement, they bring a quiet boldness to your everyday.
Each form is scored by hand with subtle, circular lines that wrap around the column — using basalt rock I’ve collected from my garden. It’s a texture you can feel but barely see — soft lines that catch the light. Then, using Keum-Boo — an ancient Korean gilding technique — I apply fine leaves of 24ct gold, fusing them to the surface. A final oxidisation deepens the contrast, highlighting the lines and form.
Because each pair is hand-shaped, hand-scored, and individually gilded, no two are quite the same. Your earrings will be entirely your own.
