Brass Textured 'Pearl' Earrings - Jane Hodgetts
Each individual jewellery design is handmade by artisan Jane Hodgetts in her studio in Hobart, Tasmania.
Mimicking the appearance of pearls but cast in brass, these earrings are a simple yet striking piece. No pair is identical due to the irregularities formed during the casting of the metal creating a beautiful unique textural surface finish.
Total length of the earrings is 45mm.
Ear hooks are oxidised sterling silver.
Jane aims for her work to show traces of process, irregular shapes, hammer marks, naturally patinaed brass and rubbed back painted surfaces. It is the acceptance of the imperfections in her work that she considers a subtle rebellion against the more polished mainstream, that she considers its strength and uniqueness.
