These earrings are handmade by the Cape Town based design studio and jewelry brand Lorne founded by Gillian Lawrence.

Gillian states about the inspirations for her creations: “The aesthetic is rendered through the creative process of jewelry making, acknowledging freedom to form rather than the expectancy of what the jewelry piece should look like. Freedom allows the creative subconscious of the artist to experiment with the materials until spontaneous form arises. Pure and authentic design makes Lorne an inspirational jewelry brand. Due to the transient nature of its manufacturing process, each piece of jewelry is unique in its story to form. Lorne challenges traditional jewelry-making with modern subjectivity defined by unusual shapes and structures. Lorne's bold yet polished statements are synonymous with the brand's essence. The brand respects individuality and recognizes this in those that choose to wear Lorne.”
