Charlotte Whitmore - Petal Earrings

Handcrafted silver stud earrings.

Approx: 1.5 x 1.7cm

Charlotte designs and makes mixed media jewellery from her workshop in Bingley, West Yorkshire. She works predominantly in silver, incorporating other materials such as vintage plastics (Bakelite, Casein, Lucite), wood and glass to add colour and texture to the jewellery she creates. Inspiration comes from the surrounding landscape. Tall, waving grasses, delicate wildflowers and sculptural seed heads that can be found on the moorland, in the hedgerows and along the towpaths near where she lives. All of these forms translate well into metal and therefore jewellery, and have led to a series of statement brooches and pendants.
