A filigree ear cuff informed by Lobularia maritima — Sweet Alyssum, a flowering plant associated with purity, emotional balance, and quiet continuity. The structure is formed in sterling silver through wire manipulation, shaped into an open C-form designed for placement at different points of the ear. The cuff is secured through a slot-and-dip fit, allowing it to rest within natural recesses of the ear such as the antihelical fold. Three Lobularia flowers are formed in fine strand-by-strand filigree, arranged in a continuous sequence with freshwater pearls placed between them. The flower–pearl–flower rhythm reflects the way Lobularia grows in nature — not as a single dominant bloom, but as many small forms gathering into a shared presence. The pearls act as concentrated points within this sequence, echoing the clustered density of the plant while translating that natural gathering into a wearable rhythm along the ear. — Handcrafted in London through wire manipulation and strand-by-strand filigree construction, using fine silver wire that is shaped and placed individually. The process is slow and controlled, informed by Indonesian craft traditions and carried through a contemporary approach to form and composition.
