Evenstar Earrings
$78.00

These earrings are feather light in your ears, and light on the planet too.
I have named this pair “Evenstar”, an old astronomy word for Evening Star, which refers to the planet Venus. I find the combination of navy blue, dusty rose and mustard yellow so evocative - like a romantic desert sunset.

| Description |
Evenstar is composed of a 3/4 inch navy blue circle, followed by two deep peach half circles (one is 1.25 inches wide, the other 1 inch). A cheerful 3/4 inch wide mustard yellow half circle bookends the blush half circles. The dangle (the three lower pieces) are joined by tight rings made from polished cooper, and move as one unit. The top ring that joins them to the navy circle is larger, allowing the whole dangle to move freely from the top. The whole earring is 2.5 inches long.
| The Tellurian Collection |
These earrings are part of the Tellurian collection. Tellurian means “dweller on the earth” or “of, relating to, or characteristic of the earth.” Each piece is named for an element of the universe. My hope is they evoke a sense of belonging to the place we find ourselves, and a reminder that we are a part of nature.
| How They were Made |
Evenstar are made of recycled leather, which has been cut, trimmed and buffed with a conservation and restoration grade wax that resists dirt and stains, and scrap solid copper electrical wire that has been stripped, cleaned, shaped and polished by hand with the same wax in order to preserve the rose gold tone. The leather shapes are then joined either by the copper jump rings or by adhesive to one another. Solid sterling silver posts adhere sturdily and come with sterling silver butterfly cap backings.
Each pair is made with my two hands in my studio on the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin).
| Care |
Please avoid handling the earrings with dirty or wet fingers. Do not get wet, lay flat to store. In time, the copper jump rings will develop a darker patina that can be brightened with a quick buff of a polishing cloth.
| Shipping |
Your earrings ship for free in minimalist, environmentally friendly packaging and will be mailed within one to two business days of receiving your order. As they are essentially one of a kind and irreplaceable, they will be shipped to you with tracking and include insurance coverage in the case of loss or damage on route, at no extra cost to you.
| A note about my descriptions of the vegetable tanned leather (the blush/nude/pink) |
Blush and nude are very euro-centric terms that imply white skin as standard. I have tried my best to find alternative descriptions that still convey the precise colour of the pieces so you can feel comfortable choosing the perfect pair for you!
