Jane Frances Reilly creates colourful designs inspired by her surrounds of home and garden. Titled 'Upside down Cutlery', these earrings are an excellent example of her focus.
These earrings feature a solid arch , with an irregular circle connected to the bottom edge. On the reverse side, the colours are monochrome with one stripe in pink-copper tone. Finished in white and pale blue paint on the front side, and featuring Reilly's signature hand-drawn black lines, the design and theme of these earrings are reminiscent of bottle openers - cheers!
Copper, sterling silver, paint.

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.
