Fern - sterling silver earrings

Fern are a striking pair of sterling silver stud earrings containing a cyanotype of a fern frond. 

Cyanotypes are made by creating a photosensitive fluid from two chemicals. This can then be brushed onto a surface and can be used to make photographs. These particular chemical react to the uv in sunlight. Botanical items can be place on the surface and the u protected part of the photo reacts but those parts in shadow won't. The final stage is a rinse under a tap to halt the process and develop the image which turns this fabulous cobalt blue.

The earrings are sealed using a deep layer of resin to protect the design.  The resin creates a lens effect over the design magnifying the detail and giving an attractive shine.  

The sterling silver setting is 8 mm in diameter.

Packaged in a stunning dragonfly stamped, black gift box.

These earrings are available and will be dispatched within 2 working days and posted via Royal Mail First Class post.
