These earrings began as the beautifully detailed ends of vintage sterling silver sugar tongs. Once used to sweeten a cup of tea, they’ve now been transformed into a pair of light, elegant earrings full of character and charm.
Each claw-shaped end has been carefully cleaned, shaped, and finished to highlight the original silversmith’s work. The delicate handle pattern adds a touch of old-world detail, while the gentle swing of the hooks brings a playful sense of movement.
These earrings are perfect for anyone who loves sustainable jewellery, unique pieces, and the quiet stories hidden in vintage silver. They’re a sweet reminder that beautiful things can be reborn in unexpected ways.
Measure just over 6cm from top of hook. Created in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia
