The Octopus Tentacle Stud Earrings are handcrafted sterling silver earrings made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. They belong to the Oceanic Collection, a series inspired by marine life, coastal forms and the textures of the South Australian shoreline.
The design began with a real octopus tentacle, which was carefully moulded so its curling form and small sucker-like details could be preserved. Cast in sterling silver, the tentacle becomes a compact sculptural stud with a tactile, marine quality.
The result is refined, organic and quietly unusual: a wearable keepsake shaped by marine life, texture and the handmade process.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each pair is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing techniques. Slight differences in texture, shape and finish should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 1.8 cm x 0.4 cm.

FAQ
Q1: Is the Skull Pendant suitable as a gift?
A: Yes. Each piece is packaged in an Olivia Dryden Jewellery branded velvet pouch and is suited to collectors who appreciate handmade jewellery with symbolism, story and a slightly gothic sensibility.
Q2: Are the Octopus Tentacle Studs suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes. Their small stud format makes them easy to wear day to day, while still carrying the distinctive texture and story of the Oceanic Collection.
Q3: How do I clean the Octopus Tentacle Studs?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the tentacle details can be difficult to reach with a cloth, a silver dip may be used occasionally if needed. Always follow the instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
