These beautiful 'Tierra' earrings from the Mitosis collection, are made of 100% recycled sterling silver (.925) and feature an Akoya pearl in the centre. They are completely hand fabricated using Gemma Grace's signature 'compressed granulation technique'. Individual granules of metal are first made by melting tiny pieces of sterling silver which form into spheres. The granules are then fused together by heating them to a precise threshold between solid and liquid metal. They are then flattened to form an intricate pattern which is completely unique to each piece. Every earring is therefore one of a kind. These earrings feature a black oxidised finish and have sterling silver (.925) fixed shepherd hook earwires.
