Botanical Black Earrings - Sarah Bourke

Sterling silver paired with hardwood, a botanical form cupped within carefully shaped timber.

Handmade by Sarah Bourke on the far south coast of New South Wales, whose work brings together silversmithing and woodworking, drawing on forms found in the natural environment.

Crafted in sterling silver and hardwood, the petal-like forms reach up from a smoothly cupped section of timber. The contrast between timber and metal brings variation in tone and texture, with the natural character of the wood against the cooler surface of the silver. To add depth, one side of the silver has been oxidised to contrast against the bare silver.

Suspended from simple hooks, they hang lightly and move with the wearer.
