A reimagining of my swinging girl, Ivy, and my first foray into jewellery, I am so excited to share Ivy in the Clouds. I developed these earrings over the course of 2024 with the help of a jewellery-maker from New York. These playful pieces show Ivy swinging from a cloud, and Ivy's very fine features are captured thanks to laser cut corrosion and a high polish finish. You can see a short video of how these earrings came to be here.
These stainless steel earrings come in two different colourways: gold or silver. The gold is plated in 14k gold. I have made a limited edition of 25 pairs of each, which come packaged in matching House of Tom Whitty jewellery boxes, with a small leather carry pouch and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
I chose to make these earrings from stainless steel because it's both affordable and durable. Unlike softer metals, stainless steel is resistant to scratching and won't tarnish, meaning they will continue to look new for a long time with next to no maintenance. Stainless steel is also hypoallergenic, so these earrings are the perfect gift for someone with sensitive skin. And perhaps most importantly, stainless steel is an extremely environmentally friendly material. All packaging is also made from recycled and recyclable materials. Ivy in the Clouds earrings come shipped in a protective box with full insurance.
