I wanted to give the silver sprouts an organic, one-of-a-kind feel, but also make a large enough quantity and keep that sense of mass I got from the sprout images I’ve collected. For the first sprout silver earrings, I first cast a batch of identical “closed” sprouts and then hand sculpted each one of them to receive a one of a kind earring. Some of the sprouts are fully open while others are more closed. Some grew into a curved long sprout earring and others are short and straight studs.
