Moon Studs - Kate Alterio

The Moon Studs are a beautifully simple and half sphere solid silver stud. These earrings measure 9mm in diameter.

These studs are part of a collection called 'Power and Illusion', which considers how perception dictates how we see ourselves, others and the world around us.

Kate Alterio is a contemporary jeweller and visual artist based on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand. Through creative expression, she explores spiritual and metaphysical themes, sacred geometry and the tension between opposites. Working predominantly in silver, gold and pearls, she makes use of repetition, recurring patterns, geometric forms and subtle details. Kate takes a minimalist design approach to convey her conceptual ideas.
