The Small Geraldton Wax Earrings are handcrafted sterling silver earrings made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. They belong to the Botanical Collection, a series of nature-inspired jewellery created from real flowers, plants and organic forms.
The original Geraldton Wax flower was selected from my garden and cast to preserve its natural texture. The result is a piece that feels intimate and quietly unusual: a wearable keepsake shaped by nature, memory and the handmade process.
These earrings are available with your choice of stud or hook fitting, allowing you to choose the style that best suits how you like to wear them.
Materials: Sterling silver.
Process: Each piece is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. Natural variation is part of the process, so small differences in texture and shape should be expected.
Dimensions: Each flower approx. 1.2cm x 1.2cm

FAQ
Q1: Will each botanical piece look exactly the same?
A: No. Each botanical piece begins with a real flower or plant specimen and is created through an organic casting process related to lost wax casting. The original specimen burns away during casting, allowing its natural texture, shape and fine surface details to be captured in sterling silver. Because the work begins with nature and is handmade in small quantities, each piece may have slight variations in form, scale and detail. These differences are part of what makes the jewellery feel organic, personal and true to the original specimen.
Q2: How do I clean my earrings?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals. Due to the intricate, hard-to-reach details in this piece, a silver dip may be used occasionally to clean the sterling silver more evenly than a polishing cloth. Always follow the silver dip instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly anddry completely.
Q3: Is the Small Geraldton Wax 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.
