Forged silver earrings inspired by the Elephant Ear plant, Colocasia esculenta.
Native to Southeast Asia, the Elephant Ear plant was first introduced to Southern Africa by Portuguese explorers and has since been cultivated widely for its edible corms. In South Africa they are traditionally called Amadumbe (Zulu) or African potatoes.
Earring length: 5cm | Weight per earring: 4.5g | Matte finish with some patina remaining
Each piece that I make is individually cut, carved, shaped and/or hammered and so each item will have it’s own unique personality.
