Handmade and subtly mismatched in size, they balance playful simplicity with the rich glow of real bonded gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese \u003cstrong\u003egold and silver flower stud earrings\u003c\/strong\u003e began life over a decade ago as components intended for an elaborate jewellery design that Simone eventually retired from her range. Although the original design disappeared, these partly finished flower forms remained sitting in a dish on her workbench for years - already hand-cut and formed, quietly waiting to become something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/from-the-archives\"\u003eFrom The Archives range\u003c\/a\u003e finally became the excuse needed to complete them as a pair of understated but distinctive stud earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are handmade from an unusual mechanically bonded sterling silver and 9ct gold metal. Rather than plating or vermeil, the bonded metal uses a genuine layer of real 9ct gold permanently bonded to sterling silver using a process similar to gold-filled metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result gives the earrings the warmth and richness of real gold at the front while retaining sterling silver against the skin and on the reverse side. Simone has long loved working with mixed metals, and this material offered a way to combine the beauty of gold with the practicality and wearability of sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers themselves are intentionally simple and stylised rather than botanical in a realistic sense. Their softly curved petals catch the light beautifully against the polished gold surface, while the slightly mismatched sizing gives the pair a relaxed handmade balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earrings are finished with handmade sterling silver posts and sterling silver earring backs for comfortable everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll love:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanically bonded 9ct gold and sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e offering a genuine gold surface rather than plating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm polished gold finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with sterling silver visible at the back and edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftly mismatched flower forms\u003c\/strong\u003e creating subtle handmade character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple sculptural floral design\u003c\/strong\u003e with softly curved reflective petals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade sterling silver posts and backs\u003c\/strong\u003e for comfortable wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchive collection release\u003c\/strong\u003e completed years after the original components were made.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive mixed metal jewellery\u003c\/strong\u003e combining warmth, contrast and everyday wearability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stud-earrings\"\u003eStud Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sterling-silver-earrings\"\u003eSterling Silver Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-jewellery\"\u003eSilver Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-gold-mixed-metal-jewellery\"\u003eMixed Metal Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e.
