Dahlia drop earrings (TB52)

Earrings by Tim Blades

Materials - silver and gold plate

Dimensions - 3.5 cm drop x 2 cm diameter

Tim takes a very sculptural approach to his work and produces pieces which are three dimensional and naturalistic. He carves the designs under a microscope using a very hard wax which enables him to produce great detail. The pieces are then cast in silver, gold or bronze.
