Sandstone, sea glass and quartz asymmetrical earrings

Sandstone, sea glass and quartz asymmetrical earrings

£45.00

Unusual double drop asymmetrical earrings made with a piece of sandstone with protruding quartz veins, quartz with iron staining and soft forest green sea glass. I love the texture on the sandstone and the Zebra like pattern of the veining, the original sediments were possibly poorly sorted which is why the quartz stands out from the host rock. 

The sandstone was collected in Cornwall, the sea glass in Brighton and the quartz from Suffolk. 

Made using a wire bezel technique I created, which is kind of a cross between basketry and weaving. It is a time consuming technique but a labour of love. Each piece of sea glass is securely and artistically encased in a delicate wire frame.

Surgical stainless steel findings. Highest quality stainless steel does not rust or tarnish, a hard wearing metal with a finish like antique sterling. Also suitable for people with metal allergies, stainless steel is used predominantly in the medical profession as people are less likely to react to it.

See me holding for size. Not shown in ears for hygiene reasons as one off unique pair.

Approx 35mm long
