Sea Slug Earrings – Sterling Silver 925 with Pearls & 18ct Yellow Gold – This Version Will Not Be Repeated

A pair of sterling silver drop earrings hand carved in wax and cast using the traditional lost wax technique. Inspired by the flowing forms and quiet movement of marine life, the design combines organic texture with precious materials — bringing together sterling silver, freshwater pearls, and 18ct yellow gold in a composition that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Freshwater pearls sit within the form like small treasures carried by the sea, their soft luminosity contrasting beautifully with polished silver and warm gold details. The interplay of silver, pearl, and gold creates a natural balance between strength and delicacy — a piece with presence that reveals more the closer you look.

Created as wearable art rather than trend-led jewellery, these earrings explore the relationship between movement, material, and form. Bold enough to make a statement, refined enough to become part of everyday wear.

Maker’s Note

"These earrings are a study in contrast — the silver, the warmth of 18ct gold, and the quiet luminosity of the pearls all came together naturally. I wanted each material to feel as though it had always belonged to the form. This exact combination was made once and will not be repeated."
