Meet the WRAPPED Studs, the ultimate pair of handcrafted statement earrings.

 

The latest collection by conceptual jewellery label Gina Melosi features chunky, textured earrings and rings contrasted with delicate studs, threaded earrings and pendants. Each piece is cast in EcoSilver (recycled 925 silver), and either dipped in gold vermeil or left raw in its white metal state. Accents of oxidisation and gemstones such as white sapphire are lightly sprinkled throughout. Each jewel is based on a tiny hand-built model made of snapped or split wood, wrapped gauze or other ripped material, and sewn and bound with metal thread. A recurring theme in her work is the broken, overlooked, and discarded, where new life is given to abandoned objects.
