Earrings - "Grand Manan Green"
“Mother Nature seldom gives us perfectly straight lines or flawlessly shiny surfaces. Mother Nature is best at being raw, visceral and atmospheric.”
These earrings were inspired by the best of Mother Nature’s gifts.
COMPONENTS: I hammered and scratched brass oval connectors and suspended from them diminutive brass flowers. All the brass components are covered in the Grand Manan patina - the result of applying to them different natural ingredients and then leaving them in the open, salty air of the island to “age”. The patina is raw, meaning that it will continue to bloom as you wear the earrings - with very slight alterations here and there, as if the metal were alive. The natural and random variations in the colour of the patina create a 3-dimensional feel to the metal.
Suspended from stainless steel, handmade earwires. You have a choice here (see last photo):
Option A - Kite Stainless Steel with plastic backs
OR
Option B - Almond Stainless Steel with closure - please select at CHECKOUT
If you have ever visited amazing Grand Manan Island in either Spring or Summer, you have no doubt already encountered the island’s greenest of greens - meadows and pond shores that are so green, the eye can hardly contain them. Such hues, saturated and vibrant, are the inspiration for these earrings.
DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) approx. 2 1/2”, 6.3 cm (slightly longer if you pick Option B for earwires).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Do not submerge the earrings. If the earrings get wet, dab the moisture away gently with tissue.
Remember, please, that colours show up more and less intensely on different monitors.
FREE SHIPPING - This item will ship from either New Brunswick or Ontario.
