Maxi Candy Stud Earrings

What

These gorgeous Maxi Candy Stud Earrings are part of the ‘CANDY’ range within the STRENGTH collection.

The idea being this particular range is to offer you a jewellery that is the most sustainable possible. To make those pieces I have used recycled precious metals that I carefully collect whenever I make a piece of jewellery. Recycled metal can be in the form of dust, off-cuts, sample pieces etc. Each precious metal is collected separately to avoid cross contamination, hence keeping its purity.

I then melt down a quantity of the chosen metal to create those very tactile juicy metal pearls. I called them ‘candies’ as the molten metal naturally gather to form beautiful gleaming spheres. Gravity and the speed of the cooling process will allow the spheres to flatten slightly. Each little candy is totally unique as I do not use a mould when melting the metal. I use the natural properties of the metal and the heat of the torch to shape those delicious candies.

Who will love the Maxi Candy Stud Earrings?

For those who are looking for a jewellery that combines sustainability with sophistication.

Their organic round shape is both feminine and strong. They are also great alternative to the more traditional pearl earrings.

So versatile that you can wear them with pretty much anything.

Maybe you are a fan of multiple ear piercings, then you would probably prefer the MIDI version of these studs, slightly smaller but as gorgeous. They are available here.

Very giftable. You are sure to make a beautiful present that everyone will love.

How to wear them

From office wear to more casual chic, the Maxi Candy stud earrings will make you look polished and elegant.

Choose a shiny finish for a classic feel. The light will bounce on the surface as you move, giving you a very flattering glow.

Alternatively go for a black finish if you want to create a more dramatic and contemporary look.

You will find that they are substantial enough to be worn on their own, but the matching silver Candy stacking ring will make a perfect match.

Materials & their benefits

Sustainable solid sterling silver – in shiny or black finish.

On ear posts and stops.

Silver provides a steadying influence. It performs a balancing act by drawing negativity from the body while transferring the positive energies of other minerals.

The black version is silver that has been oxidised to a dark charcoal grey. The colour will fade over time and with wear. Highlights will appear on the higher details such as raised edges, creating a beautiful unique patina. It is completely safe to wear on your skin, clothes etc. However please note that each item is made by hand and oxidation cannot give 100% identical results each time, which will add charm and character to your piece.

Care

Please handle your jewellery with care.

Shiny silver : gently rub the silver with an anti-tarnish silver cloth to bring their shine back. When you are not wearing your jewellery we recommend that you keep it in an air-tight container, like the one we will send your jewellery in.

Oxidised silver: do not rub the silver or you will take the dark grey layer off and reveal the shiny silver underneath.
