ShipShape Link Stud Earrings - 18k Gold
Overview
Inspired by the heavy anchor chains of the shipping industry, the ShipShape Link Stud Earrings transform an industrial element into sculptural jewellery. Handcrafted in 18k gold, they balance strength and refined detail.
Design Inspiration
The ShipShape Link series references the massive chains used to anchor cargo ships. These chains are strong, weathered and often bear the visible marks of their manufacture. By translating these industrial forms into jewellery, Nicole explores the relationship between engineering and adornment — transforming something utilitarian into a refined sculptural object.
Materials & Craftsmanship
• Solid 18k gold links
• Hand-fabricated chain links
The 18k gold links bear the marks of the making process, giving them an elegant soft texture.
Wear & Styling
Despite their bold appearance, the earrings are surprisingly lightweight and easy to wear. These versatile studs are great everyday earrings that effortlessly go from casual day wear to formal nights out. Pair them with a Shipshape Links Collier Necklace for a statement look.
