These earrings are an arch shape and a circular shape. For both, the main panel is enamelled in red, pale blue and brown, and each panel is coloured reflecting the other. Broken by a line in the middle of the panel, the colour blocks sit either side of the line, with the brown peeking just above the red. Black lines run parallel across the bottom of the panels.
On the reverse, which can be flipped to the front, there is a white enamelling, with curvy lines running horizontal across the surface. A simple hook is attched to the top of the earring to hang from the ear.
Materials: Copper, sterling silver, enamel paint
Dimensions: 38mm x 32mm

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.
