Description:
A carved coil shell with a soft, organic shape, the Escargot Studs are finished in a pearlescent glaze and accented with 22kt gold to catch the light. A playful nod to clip-art simplicity, re-imagined in fine-porcelain. These are bold, recognisable, and a little tongue-in-cheek. A modern take on the pearl stud, they bring character and polish in equal measure.
Materials:
-
Handcrafted porcelain
-
Mother-of-pearl glaze
-
22kt gold gilding
-
Sterling silver posts and "stabiliser" backs which keep the studs perfectly flat and poised against your ear.
Wear with:
A fun accessory that reads like a pearl stud but with more personality. Works beautifully for work or polished casual looks, adding a fresh and unexpected accent to your outfit.
Story:
This design began with an illustration by my six year old daughter. Sometimes after school, she’ll come to the studio to draw (usually also watching TV). One day I found this little shell sketch on my desk and thought, “this could be an earring.” The Escargot Studs carry that spirit, a playful, clip-art-style motif elevated in porcelain and gold. She’s delighted by the idea and loves to remind me that they are her design.
