Sea Slug Pearl Stud Earrings – Handmade Sterling Silver 925

A pair of sterling silver earrings hand carved in wax and cast using the traditional lost wax technique. Part of a study in marine-inspired form, the Sea Slug Pearl Stud Earrings explore quiet movement through asymmetry, texture, and organic surface flow. 

Luminous 4.5 mm freshwater pearls sit within the silver like natural points of light, creating a contrast between softness and structure. The surrounding metal is finished with a combination of polished and oxidised surfaces, allowing the carved textures to shift as the earrings move through light and shadow.

Designed as a considered everyday piece, they sit close to the ear while still carrying a distinct presence — subtle at first glance, more detailed the closer you look.

Maker’s Note

"These earrings began as a study in quiet movement — the way marine forms shift and settle beneath the surface. I wanted them to feel close to the skin, almost like something that has grown there rather than been placed."
