“Wear The Earth” Photoshoot

Earrings with blue siren, illuminated with 24k gold details in the third firing.

“Wear the Earth” jewelry creations are forged and decorated entirely by hand. They are true actual miniatures patiently crafted and painted with extra-fine brushes. For their creation, no less than three firing processes are needed: the first firing to obtain the “biscuit” from the molded clay, the second to melt colors into the glaze, and the third firing to set the 24k gold.

The jewelry draws inspiration from nature – with its flowers, creatures, and colors – and from my dream world.

The painted silhouette shapes used for the earrings often depict the subject from two different perspectives (front and back, or in a specular position)
