Copper & Plique-à-Jour Enamel Drop Earrings – Rob Morrison
A beautiful meeting of metalwork, colour and light.
These distinctive handcrafted copper earrings by Australian silversmith Rob Morrison feature the fascinating traditional enamelling technique known as plique-à-jour.
Often compared to miniature stained-glass windows, plique-à-jour involves creating small openings within a metal design and filling them with translucent enamel, allowing light to pass through the finished piece.
Each earring features a decorative copper stud element from which a delicate chain suspends an intricately patterned drop.
The warm copper surrounds the contrasting dark-toned enamel, creating an attractive geometric design with an almost organic, leaf-like shape.
As the earrings move, light interacts with the transparent enamel, revealing the delicate relationship between the metal framework and coloured glass.
Rob Morrison, remembered by generations of Australians for his work on The Curiosity Show, brings his creative curiosity and craftsmanship to these unusual earrings.
A wonderful choice for lovers of artisan jewellery, traditional enamelling techniques and distinctive handcrafted accessories.
