The Skull Hook Earrings are handcrafted sterling silver earrings made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. They belong to the Curios Collection, where natural history, memento mori symbolism and careful craftsmanship meet.
The design centres on a small skull form, created as a quiet symbol of memory, mortality and the beauty found in natural remains. Cast in sterling silver, the skulls become sculptural earrings with a refined, slightly gothic presence.
Worn on simple hooks, these earrings have gentle movement while remaining understated and easy to wear. They are suited to collectors who appreciate handmade jewellery with symbolism, natural history and a sense of the unusual.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each pair is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original skull form was carved out of wax before being cast in sterling silver. Slight differences in texture, shape and finish should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 2.4 cm length. Skull: 0.8cm
