I have just finished these cute little koru stud earrings. I chose to incorporate this gorgeous subtle texture into this design and as always they are hand made – in this case in very solid sterling silver. I love the beauty inherent in all things hand made – the tiny imperfections, the hint of tool marks…and isn’t it great to know your piece is the only one exactly like it in the world. I love being an artist – to choose which finish, texture, colour or metal to use in my designs. There are no mass produced castings to ever come out of my studio! Each piece of jewellery I create, I guarantee has been created with labour and love – both of these in equal quantities : – )

Hi. just wonder the word “koru”, bacause it is a Finnish word with meaning all these: jewel, piece of jewellery, ornament, trinket, bauble, bijou.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
It’s interesting how the meaning is so different in Finland for the word koru although it is very appropriate for both you and I to use it : – )
The koru to us here in New Zealand means peace, harmony , new beginnings….it is such a lovely sentiment. I made a blog post about the word koru a while ago – here’s the link.
