Large Kelp Studs by Rob Morris

These stunning solid silver stud earrings have a satin finish on the textured surface, the edges are then painfully hand-burnished to a high lustre and bathed in the jeweller’s tears.

Walking along the beach to work, The Mischievous Silversmith picked up a piece of desiccated seaweed and was inspired to create this homage to Neptune, Roman god of the sea – by coincidence, he found the dried kelp near Whitstable’s renowned Old Neptune (‘The Neppy’) public house.

(The weight listed is for a single earring.)
