Why not gift yourself or a loved one some flowers that will last a lifetime?
Artist Amanda Croatto has created a statement pair of hook earrings in a combination of texture, anodised titanium and pearls in a 3-dimensional flower formation of petals and stamens. Pink and gold tinted titanium have been crafted to form the petals, and they feature a pattern of raised convex dots. Inside the petal formation of each earring hang 4 'stamens' in fine silver wire balled at the lower end. Above the petal arrangement, the sterling silver wire stem is threaded with 3 white pearls.
Materials: Titanium, 6 x pearls, fine silver and sterling silver wire
Length of drop from top of earwire (including stamen): 5.5cm
Width of earrings: 3cm
Diameter of pearls: 5mm
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.
