These Sea Moss drop earrings feature a curving seaweed design, hand-enamelled in Sea Pink enamel in our Orkney workshop. Each earring is enhanced with two cubic zirconias and measures approximately 12mm wide with an overall drop of 33mm.
About the collection
For many years, Sheila had been keen to develop jewellery inspired by the shape and form of seaweed, so when Janette Park, curator of Stromness Museum, asked about a collaboration to help raise funds for the museum, an idea took hold.
During a memorable visit to the museum, Sheila was shown fascinating and delicate seaweed samples, many collected from coastline at Hoxa Head during WWI. Inspired by the heart-shaped tips on some of the sea moss forms, Sheila worked with her in-house designer, Olivia Yorston, and together developed a beautifully organic collection of jewellery in both silver and gold.
