Design & Making Composition I is the start of the collection's conversation, explore the balance between dots, lines and surfaces .

Handmade by Kevin in the Auckland studio. If you have a particular pearl preference, leave an order note and we can provide photographs before shipping. Wear & care Tested by Kevin and comfortable for most everyday light activity. Remove before showering, swimming, or sleeping, and take care around the sharper feature of the earring. When putting it on or taking it off, hold the smaller top pearl rather than pressing on the silver bar. Clean gently with fresh water and a soft brush; avoid chemicals, heat, and sharp objects. Do not use silver dip unless it is safe for pearls. In the rare occasions if the bar bends, gently straighten it by hand.
