Beautiful handmade earrings featuring the Waratah, one of Australia’s most iconic flowers, imprinted on aluminium sheeting finished with sterling silver hooks. The lovely colour and texture of this pretty bloom makes these earrings a stand out. The earrings are slightly domed to create depth.
Made by Australian Jewellery Designer Erin K. who specialises in a metal printing process known as sublimation through which she transfers original photographs, artworks and imprints onto aluminium sheeting. She then handworks the metal into jewellery designs.
The image of Waratah for this design was photographed at National Rhododendron Gardens, Olinda VIC
