Description

A pair of gold and silver bee earrings. The approximate dimension of these earrings are 1.5cm wide and 1.5cm long. The gold and silver bee earrings are a stunning fusion of two precious metals, combining the warmth of 24 carat gold plating with the cool elegance of silver to create a unique and eye-catching design. Each earring features a delicately crafted bee, with its body in 24 carat gold plating. The gold body contrasts beautifully with the silver wings. The bees are three-dimensional, giving them a lifelike appearance as they seem to hover just below the earlobe. The gold body has a polished finish, highlighting its smooth contours, while the silver wings add depth and contrast to the overall design. The combination of the two colours creates a harmonious balance, making these earrings versatile enough to complement both gold and silver jewellery. Lightweight and comfortable, these earrings are perfect for daily wear or special occasions, adding a touch of nature-inspired elegance to any outfit. The gold and silver bee earrings are a testament to the beauty of craftsmanship and the timeless appeal of mixed colours in jewellery. This piece is designed and hand-crafted by Louise in her Market Bosworth Studio. As the jewellery is hand-crafted there may be tiny variances from the image shown. Louise uses silver clay which, when finished, is 99% pure silver. Each piece comes in a gift box made from recycled materials.

I began my journey into Silver Metal clay whilst running a pottery studio in 2012 and soon became hooked! The magic of turning a piece of clay into a solid piece of Hallmark Silver never fails to amaze me and I love sharing this with my students and helping them create a lovely piece of jewellery that they can wear proudly home makes my job the best. I hold a Higher Diploma in Silver Metal Clay and am a senior metal clay instructor and glass teacher. I have been teaching for over ten years running classes from my studio in Market Bosworth and many jewellery schools and galleries all around the Midlands area. I am a member of The Guild of Jewellers and am on the education committee of the alliance of metal clay. I also hold a Gold student choice award. One of my proudest moments was visiting Tokyo and seeing one of my pieces displayed in the Silver Accessories Exhibition. I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can. Louise x

FAQs

It is of hallmark standard and if I am selling a piece that weighs over 7.98 grams I have to hallmark it. I have my own hallmark registered with the London Assay Office.

Yes, it is 99% pure solid silver after firing.

I use silver clay, which is pliable, so it can be shaped into many designs that you can create yourself or I can help you with ideas. When you have molded your design in clay, you fire your piece to burn off other substances in the clay to leave a residue of 99% pure silver. You then polish your piece to finish off the process to create an amazing piece of your own unique silver jewellery.

Absolutely. I take every opportunity to look after our special world. I use recyclable packaging and the silver clay itself is made up from recycled material. Components of old mobile phones and out of date hospital x-rays are just examples of material that are recycled into silver clay.

Yes, we have a range of beautiful pieces or contact me if you have a specific request.
