Forest Dew - Aquamarine Branch Earrings

2.5 x 0.7 x 0.6 cm

sterling silver, raw uncut aquamarine crystals, fine silver

Rosie creates her earrings using the lost wax casting process. She start by carving each design by hand in wax, shaping the form with files, picks, and a torch. The wax is then cast into solid sterling silver. From there, each piece is sanded and polished until smooth, then electroplated in fine silver for a bright, clean white finish. Finally, the stones are prong set, completing the piece.

Rosie Harris is a Vancouver Island-based artist who fell in love with metalwork the first time she held a jeweller's torch. What began as curiosity quickly became a calling. She was drawn to the way metal could be shaped, textured, and transformed by hand into something lasting and meaningful.

Living on Vancouver Island continues to shape her work every day. The mountains, forests, and rugged coastline are part of her rhythm. Nature is where she rides, walks, thinks, and resets. It fuels her adventures and serves as the foundation of her designs, making it the heart of her work.

With jewellery, there is often a relationship between the wearer and the piece. Sometimes it is sentimental, signifying a moment, a memory, or a feeling of nostalgia. Rosie believes jewellery carries meaning beyond adornment and can act as a quiet reminder of the places we love and the experiences that shape us. With this in mind, she creates mindful, handcrafted jewellery that reflects the simple joys in life and helps the wearer stay connected to their favourite places and moments.

Rosie completed three years at Vancouver Community College, earning a diploma in jewellery art and design and an award for best design for her water-inspired jewellery display. Since then, she has continued designing nature-rooted jewellery that feels personal, lasting, and at home on the West Coast.
