Particle Earrings - Yellow Bronze
Tiny particle clusters hand-carved in wax and then cast. The piece was inspired by the Cosmos TV Series, drawing on particle physics, atoms, molecules — the smallest forms of matter that serve as the basic building blocks of the material world. Tiny geometry at its best, these curious post earrings carry the mysteries of the universe in miniature.
Cast in yellow bronze using the lost-wax method, each earring begins as a wax model hand-carved at the bench. The clustered spheres catch light differently from each angle, the form reading as both scientific reference and sculptural object. Earring posts and backs are sterling silver.
