Sterling silver earrings featuring a frosted oval charm with an original fuchsia flower sketch, individually hand coloured in pinks and purples and hanging from Sterling silver earwires. The earwire is finished with a matching fuchsia coloured Swarovski crystal. Fuchsias always feature heavily in my garden, I love their blousy blooms and vibrant colours and the array of colour variants and shapes and sizes. I hope these earrings capture the feeling of summer.
I have wanted to feature gorgeous fuchsia flowers in a piece of jewellery for some time and have tinkered with ideas for years, but their complex structure has made strong construction difficult. I was introduced recently to a printable shrink plastic and immediately had ideas of how this would fulfil some of the ideas in my sketch book. I drew a sketch of a bloom and was able to print this onto the plastic, which I then hand coloured individually. Once heated to shrink the plastic, it leaves a durable and lightweight charm.
The earrings hang 53mm (2") overall from the hand crafted Sterling silver earwires and each charm is 16mm (0.66") at its widest. Each earring features a gorgeous Swarovski crystal bicone bead in a matching colour for sparkle.
