Please note: vitreous enamel is actually a form of glass! As such, these earrings need a bit of extra loving care. Please don't drop them on hard surfaces (bathroom tiles are a doozy!) or leave them rattling around in the bottom of your bag. With gentle handling, these earrings will last you a lifetime.
If you intend to travel with your O'Briens, just leave a note asking for a pouch instead of a box at checkout. We'll send them in an elegant velvet envelope so you can keep your new ear candy safe and chip-free, wherever you go.
Jenna O’Brien is a Melbourne-based jeweller who handcrafts colourfully engaging jewellery and objects in her Flinders Lane studio. Colour, form and the materiality of everyday objects act as the catalyst for each special creation, and no two pieces are the same. Her instantly-recognisable Enamel Drop Earrings feature glossy vitreous (glass) enamels, in colours lush enough to eat. In addition to her signature range, O’Brien also produces commission work on request.
O’Brien graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Object Based Practice) in 2014 and completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) from Box Hill institute of TAFE in 2011.
