Kites or Tie Earrings
5 x 5 x 1 cm
sterling silver and enamel,enamel, sawing, soldering
These Earring sets are an extension from one of my earlier Kite Ring, which was the first jewellery project I have ever done at NSCAD University. The materials are Sterling silver and enamel. The idea was to share the freedom from the kites to the wearer. The gradation on the kites offers the sense of being surrounded by clouds. One of the comments these earrings received was they are like ties, and the artist is not mad about that.
