As part of her homage to Klimt, these studs form part of a larger series of pieces with geometric stones. The rhodalite stone is pink/purple in colour and is square in shape. They are set into an 18ct yellow gold bezel and connected to a hinge back fastener. It is not necessary to have pierced ears for these studs, as the hinge backs tighten onto the ear with a screw stopper.
Australian Master artist-jeweller and author, Dorothy Erickson, hails from Western Australia and has been exhibiting her jewellery internationally since 1979.
Erickson draws inspiration for her many collections on different aspects of geometry, the wild and domesticated landscapes of Western Australia and in later collections the paintings of Gustav Klimt. Some of her later collections are also based off the wildflower paintings of her mother Rica Erickson. You can see these influences come through in her use of form, texture, colour and material.
