DUALITY Acini Lapis Drop Earrings by Susi Hines

Inspired by pepper seeds, these Acini earrings are constructed with gold vermeil over sterling silver ‘seeds’ which move independently on the earring and adorned with a framed disc of raw lapis lazuli.

Susi Hines was inspired by the cycle of growth in nature from seeds, through ripeness into decay. This duality inspires her own design and making process in her most recent collections. The Acini and Folium collections use the repeated forms of seeds and leaves, reflecting the vigorous rhythms of growth as pattern and articulation combining gold, silver and gemstones.

Earring length 2.5cm

The Designer

Susi Hines makes strong and highly individual jewellery, drawing from rich sources often using spherical forms as depicted in the Renaissance and experimenting with fractured and decaying surfaces.  Working with diamonds, gemstones, gold and silver, Susi explores surfaces through engraving, etching and contrasting colour using juxtapositions of different textures with unusual stones and naturally coloured diamonds. Her pieces use mechanical complexity creating movement allowing the wearer to vary the way they can be worn. She delights in hidden catches in secret movement and tactile discoveries.
