I am the wilderness locked in a cage, I am a growing force you kept in place, I am a tree reaching for the sun please don't hold me down, Release me..
These earrings are the first in a series of jewelry inspired by the wonderful song "release me" by the swedish band "Oh Laura" Turning these earrings from idea to reality may have been the most challenging thing I ever made jewelry wise. I really tried to give the impression of wilderness bursting out from it's cage, being released. The wire wrapping in this piece is very intricate and the earrings consist of 22 pieces of hand formed wire wrapped together with a really thin silver wire. The cages have been oxidized and polished to provide an antique look and enhance details. Inside of the cages I have stuffed loads of gemstones of various shape and colour. They really shine through wonderfully. Out of the cage hangs various gemstone beads of different shapes such as marquises, pears and rondells. The earrings are then hung from sterling silver ear posts.
