The Small Scorpion Earrings are handcrafted sterling silver earrings made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. They belong to the Curios Collection, where natural history, curiosity cabinets and careful craftsmanship meet.
The design began with a real scorpion, chosen for its curved tail, small pincers and finely segmented form. Through the moulding and casting process, the scorpion has been recreated in sterling silver, transforming the original specimen into a lasting wearable object.
Small in scale but rich in detail, these earrings carry a quiet sense of protection, resilience and the strange beauty found in natural specimens. They are suited to collectors drawn to insect jewellery, natural history and refined gothic detail.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each pair is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original scorpion was carefully moulded before being cast in sterling silver. Slight differences in texture, shape and finish should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 2 cm x 1.5 cm.

FAQ
Q1: What does scorpion jewellery symbolise?
A: Scorpions are often associated with protection, resilience and transformation. Within the Curios Collection, the scorpion also reflects my interest in natural history, preservation and the beauty found in unusual specimens.
Q2: How do I clean the Small Scorpion Stud Earrings?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the scorpion forms have fine, hard-to-reach details, a silver dip may be used occasionally if needed. Always follow the silver dip instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Q3: Are the Small Scorpion Stud Earrings 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 story, detail and meaning.
