small scalloped brass hoop earrings with sterling silver closure /oxidized handcrafted by undergrowth studio

A pair of completely unique small hoop earrings handmade from oxidized brass. The scalloped design is part of my ongoing exploration of simple and expressive botanical forms. They are small hoops and easy to wear- perfect for those looking for adornment that would be unlike anything else. Great for art lovers and plant lovers, those looking for a truly special gift and anyone unconventional.
All my designs, stemming from the thought processes of an abstract artist, are very strongly inspired by nature and the natural landscape.
This design is feminine and made for women but can just as well be enjoyed by a man. Most of my work is unisex in character.

•Materials and size:
- they hang at 5 cm length in total and are 2.5 cm wide
- lightweight in the ear
- the ear wires are sterling silver, oxidized to black
- the abstract botanical forms are from brass

•Handcrafted details:

- the scalloped hoops are sawed by hand from 0.7 mm brass sheet, making them lightweight but sturdy
- carefully filed and sanded, textured on my favourite texturing stone found on Toe Head beach
- the ear wires are shaped carefully for a convenient closure
- the earrings are oxidized- the brass to a deep varied gold and the silver to black
- they are polished in a tumbler for durability and a soft shine.

Undergrowth studio is a small, one-woman owned and ran art-jewellery practice. It is based in a small town on the wild coast of Ireland. I handcraft collectible, understated pieces of jewellery full of edgy elegance. They are perfect for wild souls and nature lovers, for those who are drawn to the quiet, the weathered and the beautifully imperfect, the wild, assymetrical and irregular grace of the natural world. For those who love art and are looking for a piece of unique authentic contemporary craft to gift or treasure.
Imbued with the landscape, each piece is a world of its own. Every ring or earring is a small talisman of place, a wearable connection to the rocky shoreline where I love to walk, the corroded cliffs, the intimacy of tide pools, the sun, rain and wind.
My work carries the story of objects sculpted slowly by the elements. Driftwood, beach combed bones, stones whose fragile, weather scarred beauty speaks of impermanence and of our deep connection to the natural world.
Every earring, ring, pendant or bracelet is designed and individually handcrafted. In design, I value simplicity and honesty; in craftsmanship, care and a deep respect for the material. I focus on tactile details so each piece becomes a personal link between the body and the landscape, inviting you to carry a small talisman wherever you go. No two pieces are ever the same.
Unlike generic, mass-produced jewelry, my work is rooted in craft, attention to detail and a respect for the materials’ natural flaws and textures. I aim to create pieces which feel meaningful and grounding, are contemporary and intimate while expressing the primal aspects of our nature and the power of time and tide.
I use recycled silver and upcycle all my studio scraps. I only use eco friendly chemicals in my silver smithing work.
I am always happy to talk about my work, so, if you have any questions, please don‘t hesitate to write!
