Kelp stud earrings, handmade by Kate Bajic in sterling silver.

The Kelp stud earrings are a lightweight statement stud with an intricate hand chased silver surface. The shape is inspired by the flowing patterns observed in seaweed. The silver has been given a linear pattern with a whitened finish where the raised areas have been burnished to catch the light.
