'Diamond' Sapphire Earrings - Melanie Ihnen

Melanie Ihnen studied design at Newcastle TAFE and Jewellery and Object at Enmore Design Centre Sydney. She has since been a maker, teacher, curator and gallery director. Melanie has been teaching, exhibiting and practicing jewellery in Sydney for over 15 years and works in her Sydney studio, producing her hand made collections.

Influenced by geometric shapes, architecture and the subtle colour and tonal variations of metals, she employs the technique of Married metals, combining precious metals and gems. Her works are an exploration of technique and form, and each piece embodies clean lines and surfaces with an elegant and minimalist aesthetic.

These earrings are made of 18ct yellow gold, each set with an Australian teal sapphire 2.5mm in diameter.

Length 22mm x width 11mm
