The Goddess Lustred

Description:

I am woman. I am fearless.

When I created these earring I really wanted them to evoke a sense of courage, fearlessness and empowerment. Is that too much to ask from a pair of earrings? I don't think so! The Goddess can be worn in a corporate environment to accent an already stunning outfit, at home whilst you're running around after the kids, or to elevate an everyday look. Whenever you choose to wear them I hope they make make you feel unstoppable!

Hand-painted with a soft coral colour as well as a stunning 22k real gold lustre these certainly stand out in the crowd.

The Process:

Each piece is handmade and goes through an extensive process from initial concept and design, to condition the rolling out the clay slab, then individually cutting and hand-sculpting each piece from the finest porcelain clay. All created in small batches from my home studio in Bellbowrie, Queensland, then carefully placed into a kiln ready for their first 'bisque' firing.

Once they come out of the kiln, each piece is closely inspected, painstakingly hand-sanded, and painted by hand with glaze. This is where each piece will undertake a second firing, reaching over 1230°C (2246°F). And where pieces have been accentuated and painted with lustre, they will go into the kiln for their third and final firing. Once this stage is completed, all earrings and jewellery are assembled with the utmost care.

Because all pieces are handcrafted individually and undergo multiple firings, this may lead to slight shape and colour variations.
