Dicky Bird Earrings

These elegant, one-of-a-kind animal earrings are hand-crafted from 18ct white gold, onyx, pave-set diamonds and hand-carved buffalo bone. They explore one of favourite themes: marrying gemstones with unusual materials to create unique and timeless fine jewellery. We love the way the black shiny onyx here contrasts with the matt bone – the result is an extremely tactile and eye-catching piece that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.

The one-of-a-kind Dicky Bird Earrings hail from the designer’s Lost & Found collection, which takes its inspiration from the Victorian curiosity cabinet, the art of Joseph Cornell and the ‘found’ object. Stumbling across a pair of hand-carved bone birds at a market store, Tessa kept these trinkets safely stored in a drawer, along with numerous other eclectic finds, for over four years whilst she worked on different designs. Lost & Found embraces these ‘lost’ objects, such as these birds, giving them a new lease of life through creative reconstruction and embellishment.
