Aurora - where clay meets gold

Aurora - where clay meets gold

Each pair of Aurora earrings is handmade from polymer clay - a story about the process that blends patience, colour and form.

Some pieces are born from a single moment - a colour glimpsed in a morning sky, a shape that offered itself while the hands were working. Aurora is one of those.

The name is no coincidence. The polar aurora - a phenomenon that joins light and darkness into something perfectly transient - was my visual starting point for this design. The diamond shape combined with earthy clay tones and gold hardware tries to capture precisely that duality: warm and cool, simple and special.

The making process

Every pair begins with mixing the clay. The tones you see were not achieved with a single colour - they are layers, twists and folds that give the texture its living character. After shaping comes baking at a precise temperature, then sanding and polishing to a silky finish.

The gold pins and clasps are not decoration - they are an integral part of the design. I chose hardware that would have a conversation with the clay surface, not a contrast.

Aurora earrings are available periodically, in small batches. Each pair is unique - the tones differ, the texture differs. That is the whole point.
