The Home earrings are inspired by the rich and complex history of Irelands Georgian houses. Their distinctive doorways have survived it all, from wealthy extravagance to the poverty of the tenement slum, gazing out onto our city streets and holding the stories of those who gathered outside them and lived within their walls. Whispering tales of privilege and poverty, of courage and community, and of home.
Drawing on the fanlight feature of the doorway, these earrings also give a subtle nod to the tenement era as when not being worn they resemble an old style babies pram, typical of the families that occupied these buildings. They sit side on creating a unique silhouette on the ear.
Handcrafted in sterling silver or 9K yellow gold in my Dublin workshop and hallmarked in the assay office in Dublin castle.
