Mr Polar Bear Earrings

Look who’s come in from the cold this winter: Mr Polar Bear! Adorable, charming and utterly unique, these one-of-a-kind earrings will delight anyone and everyone who loves animal jewellery as much as we do.

The Polar Bear 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 miniature porcelain polar bear at a market store, Tessa kept this cute critter 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 the porcelain bear, giving them a new lease of life through creative reconstruction and jewel embellishment.

The Polar Bear Earrings are the ultimate mismatching statement earrings. Here, onyx, mother-of-pearl and white agate beads are paired with the painted polar bear to create striking, monochrome drop earrings.  Porcelain is an extremely light material, making it extremely suitable for earring design. When paired with 18ct yellow gold, it really takes on a life of its own, bringing lustre and warmth to the skin.

We think these one-of-a-kind animal earrings work as well by day as by night – and will definitely be the most interesting piece of jewellery in the room.
