Handmade ceramic ripples drop earrings in rose pink and blue

These little rectangles have a pattern stamped into the wet clay, reminiscent of ripples on water. I have then blended blue and pink in stripes. These earrings are from a range of coordinating colourful accessories. As with all my jewellery they are made and decorated entirely by hand.

After forming the drops from fine white clay, I imprint my design. When dry, I sand the back and sides and round off any corners to ensure they are super smooth. They then have their first firing. Next I paint them using under-glazes and apply a transparent glaze before firing again to earthenware. Being glazed all over they are smooth against the skin whilst retaining the texture of the imprinted design. The result is a pleasantly tactile item.

• The drops are attached to sterling silver ear-wires

• This is a one-off listing, the earrings in the photographs are the actual pair you will receive

• The drops are approximately 8mm, a third of an inch, across, and 18mm, three quarters of an inch, long, plus rings and wires

• All my jewellery comes in a hand-stamped box

• Matching items are available – if there’s nothing currently listed just ask!

I can also make to order, so if you would like something similar, but a different colour or shape please get in touch. Or even something completely different, and I'll let you know if it's possible!
