Rose and Rutilation

Artist: Siobhan McCloskey, Student
Materials:  Rosewood, Sterling Silver, Rutilated Quartz
Earring Type: Dangle
Dimensions:  2.5" L x .5" W

This pair are made from rosewood with sterling stirrups and set with a pair of rutilated quartz stones. I really wanted a special setting for these stones which would make them the focus but also provide a dramatic backdrop. Incorporating the found object of a broken rosewood chopstick that I just couldn't throw away! With a bit of mid century modern look.

These earrings are part of LOBES: An Invitational Earring Show on display in the Danaca Design Gallery Showroom through December 24, 2023. View the entire collection online HERE.
