Onyx Flower & Silver Blob Earrings - Ari Athans

A polished black onyx flower sits above a softly irregular silver blob, pairing a playful floral form with Ari Athans’ characteristically unexpected geometry.

Handmade by Ari Athans in Brisbane, whose work explores unexpected combinations of material, colour and form.

Suspended from sterling silver ear wires, each earring brings together a polished flower-shaped onyx bead and a rounded sterling silver blob. The glossy black stone contrasts with the silver below, while the pairing of a recognisable floral shape with the amorphous metal form gives the earrings a playful, slightly offbeat character. Petite but sculptural, they capture Ari’s distinctive approach to combining geological materials with simple metal forms.
