earring Design

Inspired by the Art Deco movement's focus on symmetry and geometric patterns, along with the bold central gems found in classic Cocktail Jewellery, these Tutti Frutti hoop halo earrings are a stunning embodiment of timeless elegance. The hoop-halo link is cleverly angled to subtly direct the halos forward, ensuring their maximum visual impact. Whether worn alone or paired with other pieces from the Tutti Frutti collection, they exude flamboyance and glamour.

Metalwork

The hoops, earwires, halos and baskets were created by forming and shaping metal bullion using traditional mounting techniques. These ‘master’ earring components are then used to create moulds from which wax versions are made, and these waxes are cast into 9ct or 18ct recycled white gold using the ‘lost wax’ casting method. The component castings are filed, emeried and smoothed before being soldered together using gold solder and a blowtorch.

Gems

The gems are responsibly sourced by a trusted dealer based in Hatton Garden, London who we work closely with to ensure the highest quality and most vibrantly coloured stones. Each central 6mm brilliant cut London Blue Topaz is claw set and finished with talons and ringed by twenty 1mm green tourmaline individually set into the halo using the thread and grain technique.

Finishing touches

The completed earrings are sent for Hallmarking at the Edinburgh Assay Office before returning home to Shetland for a final polish.

The earrings are presented in a high quality satin textured and chamois lined box.
