Geraldine Fenn
These gold-and-emerald earrings featuring the image of a crane were created by Joburg-based contemporary jewellery designer Geraldine Fenn. She made them by taking a wax impression of an old metal pin, casting the wax in gold, and setting emeralds into the studs. She says, “I like that it looks like they have just beendug up in a field somewhere in rural England. That’s the goal with all my pieces using impressions in wax — I want them to feel like they have a real history of being in the world.”POA, tinselgallery.com
