These hammered brass earrings with oxidized sterling silver wires are created with authentic antique papers and weathering techniques. Each pair is unique to itself, showing snippets of an antique text. The brass window slides open to reveal just a bit more. You receive the clues as if an overheard conversation, a story unfolds, and you become a part of it. The origins of language are closely tied to the origins of adorning ourselves with jewelry. My 2008 Collection explores the ties of language, jewelry and above all the mystery that we all strive to solve.
