Continuing my interest in the millennium seed bank and all the variations in the 2.4 billion seeds these earrings celebrate the potential and beauty of seeds. Seeds have a long history in jewellery as early man realised their intrinsic value. The average weight of a carob seed is 200 milligrams, or 0.2 grams, which is the measurement still used today for a carat weight of diamond. to be reminded that seeds are more precious to human survival than diamonds challenges us to reevaluate what we hold as precious.

Combining sterling and fine silver and translucent vibrant glass enamel with a freshwater pearl drop. These earrings over variations with how you wear them starting with the silver spiral hoop and adding the seeds or pearls and changing the orientation of the seed pod give you playful different ways to wear from a simple style to opulent design.
