Aurelia Yeomans — 'Dark Waters' Earrings

These bold and intricate earrings are inspired by the stunning micro-crystalline structure of ice, and the exquisite geometries of nature. Lightweight on the ears and handcrafted with the signature Aurelia Yeomans kiln-fired black enamel finish, they feature mild steel hexagon drops and natural black spinel gemstones set into hammered, partially blackened and polished sterling silver.

Aurelia Yeomans is a jeweller based in Melbourne. Her practice is informed by nature and a fascination with metamorphosis and phenomena. Inspired by raw geologic forms, intricate crystalline structures, and the exquisite geometries of nature, her works elegantly unveil stories of the earth. Through a conceptual and considered design language, her pieces celebrate the unique characteristics of natural material such as coloured and included diamonds and precious gems, together with her unorthodox and distinctive approach to enamelling steel that has won her international recognition.

Yeomans' work has been exhibited extensively in Australia, Europe, and the USA including a significant commission for the National Gallery of Victoria. She has undertaken formal training in goldsmithing and design in Germany, as well as completing a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in Gold and Silversmithing at RMIT University, Melbourne.
