PETALURA EARRINGS

The PETALURA EARRINGS get their namesake from Petalura gigantea, the giant dragonfly commonly found in Wingecarribee Swamp and nearby rivulets — near our second residency site for ‘…and then the water whispered’ collection.

‘...and then the water whispered’ is inspired by the connective forces of flowing water, weaving through rock and soil, bone and battered gums, to find its way back to the great oceanic body. Through two winter residencies, one in the Snowy Mountains (Ngarigo Country) and the other in Kangaloon (Dharawal Country), we studied the land and how its been shaped by water, to develop our new collection.

“fin-tipped and foraging, divining rods of swell and salt dance through currents
the sails of an ancient vessel, boned and taught…”

Sterling silver will naturally oxidize over time‭. ‬Regular cleaning with a silver polishing cloth or silver cleaning solution will help maintain‭ ‬the shine of your piece‭.
