Granite brass Lunula earrings forged outdoors.

Born out of an artists residency I took part in in Cape Cornwall in 2023, the Granite Collection is a series of work exploring ancient metal working skills out under the open sky and using the granite boulders to give texture to the surface of each new piece. They are created in some of my favourite places in the world in West Cornwall, The Isles of Scilly and on Dartmoor.

The Lunula and the Lunula earrings were created for a very special jewellery show at the Cornwall Museum in Truro. They were inspired by the gold Lunula on display in the museum, made from rare Cornish gold and fabricated in the Bronze Age with incredible skill. You can read more about them in my journal.

I have always been drawn to the standing stones and their ancient heritage, through human time and geological time. These pieces are like finger prints of a geological event and I use my eyes and fingers to search out the most interesting textures and surfaces to give beautiful, unique detail to each piece. Quartz seams, a reoccurring theme in my work, leave raised and shining ridge lines in the metal while mottled granite has pock marks where mica and quartz have worn free through tide and wind.

These unique Granite brass earrings are made up from metal I have already been out and textured. If you have a preference in the location of the work, please let me know and I will do my best to send you a specific piece.
