The lighter blue is in a semi circle shape at the top of the earring, a black line bordering the colour block. The rest of the earring's background is black with a square shape of darker blue sitting to one side of the panel. Over the dark blue, there are white dots scratched into the surface and white curved lines bordering one side of the square.
On the reverse, which can be flipped to the front, there is red enamelling, with thin, white lines running parallel down the panels.

With training in both ceramics and jewellery making, Jane Frances Reilly brings to life her surroundings in blocks of bright colour and monochromatic line. Her motifs and mark-making are like drawings that tell stories of memories, and Reilly takes inspiration from the home, garden, footpaths and roads. Although responding to her immediate surroundings, Reilly’s pieces are in fact an abstraction of her world.
Working predominantly in copper, paint and sterling silver, Reilly’s pieces possess a playful presence.
