What are found objects?
Pearly
Faux pearls and pearly materials such as beads or buttons — usually Vintage — to create a feminine design.
Leather
Cowhide leather that's been reclaimed and fashioned into something new & fantastic.
Stud
Big or small and making use of all kinds of found objects, these earrings all begin on the ear lobe instead of below it.
Drop & Dangle
Most diverse of all types are the drops & dangles. Known for their movement and flow. Be a minimalist or make a statement.
Hoops
Big, small, round or oval, with or without accents. All kinds of hoops!
Industrial
Raw & edgy. A style that combines metals in various colors and shapes. Somewhat unfinished, yet cohesive.
We think these Silver & Red Minimalist Heart Pendant Earrings are super cute and charming.
How were they created? The artisan stripped an iPhone charger cord and found a braided nylon cord underneath which was shaped into an heart pendant. Then, the pendant was accented with red cable wire. Finally, the pendants were hung from stainless steel French hook posts.
We think the silver and red combination in this minimalist pair of earrings is so cute! And we like how they are slightly imperfect. They're "perfectly imperfect", you could say.
Complement a white shirt and dark blue jeans with a subtle splash of red, or wear them with a simple red dress. They are so versatile, and so darling!

How We Craft Feminine and Charming Earrings... [more]
We explore our found objects and look for innately feminine pieces. For example, anything floral. Also, beads that are pastel or pearlized.
Then, we think about how to use additional materials to maintain a sufficiently simple earring that will appear sophisticated and feminine. Of course, a degree of artistry and interpretation is required.
How We Make Hammered Gold Dangle Earrings... [more]
Some of our gold hammered earrings have been made using an interesting type of object... metal tubes from hair salons.
The inside of some metal tubes has a beautiful gold/copper sheen. The metal is light, sturdy, and pliable. After cleaning and careful cutting, the metal is hammered into various shapes. Then, the hammered shapes are fastened in different ways to create one-of-a-kind earrings.
Interesting Objects We Find for Our Earrings... [more]
Each pair of earrings we craft is one-of-a-kind. No pair is ever duplicated. We achieve this mainly by gathering arbitrary and interesting found objects and using them in a creative way. Sometimes, we have to paint, bend or hammer these found objects to create something different. On occasion, a found object is perfect just as it is.
Some of the found objects we have used in our earrings include:
