Artist Amanda Croatto has created a statement pair of hook earrings in a combination of sterling silver and blue anodised titanium. Formed out of irregular circles, each earring has peaks running from top to bottom of the circles, four peaks on one, five on the other. Along the peaks are small pin point indentations. There are small gold coloured "bubbles" that have been scratched into the surface. The "bubbles" are concentrated down the bottom of the earring and dissipate towards the top. Connected by two jump rings at the top is a half circle of blue titanium with a border of pin point indentations. A silver earring hook is attached to the top of the half circle.
Materials: Anodised titanium, sterling silver
Length of drop from top of earwire: 7cm
Width of earrings: 43mm
Amanda Croatto’s playful imagination and love of colour are evident in her work with copper, enamels and other non-precious metals and surface finishes. Each unique piece showcases the pleasure she takes patina and pattern, movement and colour. Recognisable for their bold patterning, articulated surfaces and tactile elements, Croatto’s jewellery is sure to add colour to your day.
Croatto has a degree in Textile Design from RMIT, and surface design and illustration continue to be a strong influence in her work. Each one of her pieces is hand-made in her Melbourne studio.
