The Small Seahorse 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 seahorse found along the South Australian coastline. It was carefully moulded so its curled form, ridged body and delicate natural detail could be preserved before being transformed into sterling silver.
Small in scale but rich in detail, these studs offer a subtle connection to the sea. The result is refined, oceanic and quietly unusual: a wearable keepsake shaped by the coastline, memory and the handmade process.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each pair is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original seahorse 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: 1.7 cm x 1.2 cm.

FAQ
Q1: Are the Small Seahorse 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 symbolism, story and a slightly gothic sensibility.
Q2: Are these earrings suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes. Their small stud format makes them easy to wear while still carrying the fine detail and story of the original seahorse specimen.
Q3: How do I clean the Small Seahorse Stud Earrings?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the seahorse form has fine, hard-to-reach details, a silver dip may be used occasionally if needed. Always follow the instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
