Whispers on the Ocean

Whispers on the Ocean

The water is silky and fine,

Warm as summer’s kiss

From the decadent sun

Green and blue, green and blue

Calm ocean, lapping at golden sand

Each wave has a delicate frill of foam.

A fragile breeze laced with the scent of salt

Flies above the sea.

Whispers on the Ocean

Whispers on the Ocean – Mermaid Earrings – Recycled silver shillings

Gorgeous, asymmetrical mermaid earrings completely handcrafted and totally made from recycled raw materials, bringing the feel of the ocean. I have carefully cut them from 100 year old solid silver shilling coins.

I hand-draw each beautiful mermaid onto the surface of the flattened silver coins and then pierced them out with a traditional jewellers piercing saw. Then, I carefully detail the silver silhouette with hand engraving chisels to bring the ladies alive. They are presented with a third (spare) anchor earring so you have options! The reverse can be engraved with name or date upon request.

The coins I use are marred from wear marks from being used to buy and sell over one hundred years ago. Rather than let them simply be melted down for the silver content, I absolutely love coming up with designs and ideas. Then, I can transform them into Whispers on the ocean. By doing this I retain the historical details, simultaneously adding depth, interest and intrigue to the design. As I hand-cut each coin individually to order, every one is completely unique and unusual. They look and feel special. If you liked these delicate earrings, why not have a look at some ash leaf earrings?

Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver ear wires and silver shilling ‘off-cut’.

Why not learn about the lore of the mermaids?
