Vision
An appreciation of the jasmine flower, a common sight in Andalusia, these earrings signify the purity and divinity of nature. Native to tropical and warm temperate regions, the flower endlessly inspires our studio in forms of colour and shape.
Technique
Each flower has been hand saw-pierced from copper sheet, sanded and drilled. Each flower has enamel applied by hand and is kiln fired, this process is repeated approximately 6 times per flower. Hand-made sterling silver rings are used to connect the flowers, the rings are soldered. Hand-made sterling silver earring wires are soldered onto the first flower. The flowers are cleaned free of oxides caused by the soldering process and finally polished.
