Short Construction Earrings in grey, black and red: dyed acrylic and silver, made by Sarah Packington.

About the maker: 

‘I design and hand make colourful dyed acrylic jewellery in my studio in Brighton. I studied Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics BA (hons) at Brighton Polytechnic, graduating in 1991. I endeavour to push the boundaries of what can be done with my chosen material. I experiment with textured surface patterns and innovative ways of joining components. Many of my designs have hand etched lines on clear acrylic which is dyed and polished back to reveal the coloured pattern. I use a laser cutter or bandsaw to cut out shapes from sheet acrylic, and hand make all ear wires in silver.  All designs are highly finished to give a precious feel.’
