Welcome to our light and ethereal ‘Gossamer’ collection. The earrings are cut from eco-friendly stainless steel, which is strong enough to form the very finest filigree shapes, before being beautifully textured on a series of anvils. This collection is inspired by delicate, woodland forms, the half light of dawn and dusk, and continues our themes of botanical sprigs and ancient classical mythology.

'Fern' represents perhaps the most mystical plant family, predating animal life by many millions of years, and having changed very little since the mid Jurassic period. Their feather like fronds have long been associated with fantastic, other worldly life and landscapes, liminal spaces and moments of magic. Their place of ferns in mythology is worldwide. To the Maori people of New Zealand the fern represents strength and enduring power, and the silver fern is the national symbol of New Zealand.

Stainless steel is quickly becoming a highly popular choice among jewellery makers. It has long been valued for strength, shine, hygiene, and tarnish resistance. It can be endlessly recycled, and is considered one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly metals in common use. Its colour is very similar to sterling silver, and it is hard enough to be cut into the gossamer light shapes you see here… in fact, it is so strong it can be tricky to texture on our anvils, but my goodness its worth it. Our oldest anvil is around 150 years old, and its still going very strong!

This collection is mounted onto silver plated ear wires as standard, with the additional option of solid sterling silver ear wires. Both are hypoallergenic, though for super sensitive ears we recommend opting for sterling silver. Earrings and ear wires can be easily replaced should you lose one, so do get in touch if you need anything. All our postage and packaging materials are plastic free.
