Stained porcelain studs - Erbium glaze
Order ships: Monday, November 25
Delivered: Tuesday, November 26
Light and precious. A small pair of porcelain stud earrings, glazed with erbium pink glaze. The glaze also has very few light blue speckles. Before being cut for the earrings, I apply some texture to the earrings. The texture is inspired by the work of Giovanna Garzoni.
The stud earrings are fixed to titanium posts, which is ideal for sensitive ears.
You will receive the exact ones you see in the photo.
The earrings are around 1,2 cm in width and 1cm in length.
Porcelain is a very strong material but you should treat your pieces with care and make sure not to drop them or have them hit a hard surface. I also recommend not to shower with your jewellery.

Erbium is a rare earth metal. Its oxide is rarely used in ceramics because it is very expensive. However, it produces the most stunning pink: it's actually the only oxide which alone can produce pink.
Erbium is among the heavy elements that arrived to Earth after escaping the collision between two neutron stars. We are all made of stars and your earrings too.
