Elegant and understated, designed to sit just below the earlobe
I make these in my Sydney studio from solid sterling silver. The weight is substantial enough to feel present without pulling at the ear, comfortable from morning through to evening.
Handmade sterling silver drop earrings with a refined, sculptural feel
Satin finish, comfortable to wear all day.
Hollow-formed balls make them beautifully light despite their presence
Details
Ball diameters: 8.5mm and 13mm
Are these handmade?
Yes, I design and make every pair myself in my Sydney studio, in small batches.
Is the silver solid or plated?
Solid 925 sterling silver, never plated. Plating wears off, solid silver does not, so they are made to last for years.
Are they heavy on the ear?
No. The balls are hollow formed, so they keep their presence while staying light, and the satin finish sits just below the earlobe. Most people wear them all day and forget they have them on.
How do they fasten?
On a sterling silver hook that slips through easily and sits securely.
Are they alright for sensitive ears?
They are solid sterling silver with no plating, which a lot of people with sensitive ears find easy to wear.
Will they tarnish, and how do I care for them?
Sterling silver can pick up a light patina over time and comes back with a soft cloth and a gentle polish. Store them in the pouch they arrive in and keep them away from perfume and hairspray.
How long will they take to arrive?
Because these are over $120, they ship free with Express Post, usually 1 to 2 business days once dispatched. I dispatch within 2 working days from my Sydney studio and send tracking as soon as it is on its way.
Will they arrive ready to gift?
Beautifully packaged and ready to give, with gift wrap and a handwritten card available at checkout.
A soft polishing cloth is all you need for most tarnish on polished surfaces. On the satin finish, gently buff in one direction with a green Scotch-Brite scourer, the kind you can pick up from most supermarkets, until the tarnish lifts and the satin finish is restored.
Store your jewellery somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight, ideally in a soft pouch or lined box rather than loose in a drawer. Keeping it away from other jewellery helps prevent scratching.
Every piece I make is solid sterling silver, handcrafted here in my Sydney studio, built to be worn every day and to last. If your jewellery ever needs a proper clean or polish, reach out and I'm happy to help.
I pack every order by hand in my Sydney studio.
