Sterling Silver Articulated Possum Earrings – Rob Morrison
Whimsical, beautifully crafted and wonderfully unexpected, these sterling silver Possum Earrings are miniature works of wearable art.
Handcrafted by Australian silversmith Rob Morrison, familiar to generations of Australians through the iconic television program The Curiosity Show, these earrings bring together his creative imagination and an appreciation for clever mechanical design.
Inspired by Australia's much-loved possums, each earring features a carefully sculpted silver animal suspended from its long, curved tail, which is attached to a stud fitting.
The real magic lies in the construction. Each possum comprises three articulated sections, allowing the head, front legs and hind legs to move independently. As the wearer moves, the little possums gently sway and change position, creating a delightful impression of movement.
From their alert ears and expressive faces to their gracefully curved bodies, these possums are full of character. Their polished sterling silver finish beautifully highlights the sculptural detail and movement.
Playful yet elegant, these earrings will appeal to lovers of Australian wildlife, collectors of unusual artisan jewellery and anyone who enjoys jewellery with a story to tell.
