Artist Amanda Croatto has created a statement pair of hook earrings in a combination of texture, anodised titanium and pearls. The acqua and yellow-tinted titanium is a wide, elongated wedge with the shape emphasised through a pattern of raised dots running along the centre and outer edge. Each of the lightly convex wedges of titanium have three pearls suspended from the bottom edge using fine silver wire, and the wedges are suspended from a handmade hook in sterling silver wire.
Materials: Titanium, 6 x pearls, fine silver and sterling silver wire
Length of drop from top of earwire: 7.8cm
Width of earrings: 22mm
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.
