These Sterling silver earrings are just beautiful and are a favorite at the Gallery. Designed and handmade by Queensland contemporary award winning jeweller Kylie Gartside. This range titled, a little piece, was inspired by a dawn photograph of birds in a jacaranda tree outside the artist's studio.
"A little piece A little piece of the outside when you are inside, A little piece of the hand-made amongst the technology, A little piece of the old with the new..... A little peace"
