Consisting of an inverted arch shape and a semi circle like shape, the earring's main panel is enamelled in lilac, white and blue, with each panel's colours reflecting the other. Broken by a curved line one third of the way down the panel, the colour blocks sit either side of the line, with the white filling the space between the two. A black line border frames the sides of the panel, with dot and line patterns scratched into the surface.
On the reverse, which can be flipped to the front, there is a mixture of dot and line patterns with red enamelling. An earring hook is attached to the top of 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.
