Solar Studs

£1,400.00

This item is made to order, please allow three weeks for your piece to be complete.

Understated and elegant, the Solar Studs promise to become a firm favourite amongst your forever jewellery collection. Combining warm 9ct yellow gold with a choice of centre stone, each stud features our signature charming rustic texture and matte polished finish, resulting in a soulful pair of earrings that will add a subtle touch of luxury to your bridal look, and forevermore. The organic ‘halo’ shapes are made by melting down recycled silver scraps that are collected over time in the studio. Each raw clump of metal is then hand forged and hammered down using a bronze age hammer technique, until Kitty has the perfect shape that would work harmoniously with the stones. Each shape is then cast locally by Kitty’s casters in Hatton Garden, before being finessed and hand finished by the studio team.
