Cocoons Earrings

Sissi Cocoons, 2021 18kt gold and blackened silver threads with natural coral earrings 7 x 5.5 cm unique and signed   ‘The nest is not only the home of the body, but also a space that dresses and protects like the Cocoons wearable sculptures, cocoon-nests that enfold a content. The chrysalis represents both the rest of the being and its momentum, a continuous rebirth extended to the nature of coral. An aviary of intertwined gold and silver threads to enclose a fragment of coral in an embrace. A nature to be saved and to be given back to a protected place.’ – Sissi

John Moore Elytra, 2019 reversible earrings, anodised aluminium, oxidised silver 14 cm long Unique Elytra is the entomological name for beetle wings, which inspired this collection. Multiple elytra, made from dyed, anodised aluminium, are clustered together to form overlapping patterns that remind us of fish scales,  flower petals and bird feathers. Earrings can be suspended upside down, causing the elytra to flare outwards, like an open pinecone.

Ute Decker Man Ray, 2020 100% recycled sterling silver ear sculptures 6 x 2.2 x 2.2 cm edition of 12 unique within the series initialled and hallmarked   The wearable sculptures by the internationally acclaimed architectural artist Ute Decker are a meditation on the richness of simplicity.

Sissi Nidi (Nests), 2019 18kt gold threads earrings 8.3 x 5 cm unique and signed   With an artistic focus of anatomical study in relations to environmental elements, Sissi brings forth new ways to interpret wearable art, as the pieces transform into a second skin of light and gold for the wearer. For her wearable art pieces, Sissi interlaces the symbolism of the bird’s nest with the anatomy of the human body. The artist’s creations are hand-made and embellished, yet delicate like her sculptures. Carefully interwoven and welded with gold and silver threads, decorated with precious gemstones, Sissi’s contemplative process re-imagines a sculptural piece of art to work in tandem with the single wearer. It was pivotal to Sissi to be personally involved with the production of her wearable art pieces. Nests draws its symbolism from natural nests which provide a safe place. Nests can be displayed as a sculpture when taken off, and becomes a sculptural work of wearable art that unites with the individual when worn.
