Large Lifebuoy Earrings - Red Sky Night

These large lifebuoy earrings are hand carved from Surfite; which is produced during the manufacture of surfboards in Scotland by Jason Burnett of @jaysurfboards. Each pair is totally unique as the colour layers build up randomly. To find out more about the process of repurposing the Surfite head of to the ‘Story of Surfite’ to find out more.

The resin discs have been hand carved so that they taper to a thin edge on the outside and a chunky middle to add dimension to the shapes as well as making them lighter in weight. Tiny Sterling Silver tubes have been inserted into the holes where the ear wires hang to add strength and detail. Whilst the contemporary style ear wires have long hooks at the back to help stop the earrings being knocked out. 

This pair of short and stout earrings are designed for those who want a statement pair of earrings without the usual long length ear wires.

The Lifebuoy design was inspired by my feelings during the Covid-19 lockdown and the need to bring colour and cheer into our lives whilst also recognising that its ok to reach out and ask for help.  So ‘Be brave and Make Waves’. 

Dimensions of earrings - Total drop from ear - 4.5cm - Lifebuoy - 3.5 cm diameter

Come presented in one of my branded boxes which can be composted after use.

Care Instructions: When the earrings need a clean use hot soapy water and a soft bristle brush (e.g. Toothbrush). A soft polishing cloth can also be used. As with all Silver jewellery keep them away from perfume, sunscreen and other solvents. Where possible keep the earrings in their box to help reduce tarnishing and scratching of the resin when not being worn.
