These tiny diamond studs are from the Future Artifacts collection by Natalie Salisbury Jewellery. The studs feature small diamond slivers set in oxidised sterling silver with a touch of 18ct and 22ct gold fused to the surface.
Each stud is an organic form, and measures approximately 9mm x 6mm with an oxidised silver butterfly back.
These are a completely unique set.
Natalie Salisbury is a born maker. Natalie moved to New Zealand from the UK in 2013, and brought her jewellery tools with her. Now she crafts her work in her small workshop in Titahi Bay, Wellington.
Her collections include the classic Lace and Regal collections with crisp structure and geometric forms. The romantic and delicate Briar Collection with natural cast twigs that form the base of earrings, pendants and twisting rings. Her Future Artifacts pieces are all completely one-of-a-kind items: wearable works of art and alchemy. Gold dust is fused to the surface of sterling silver. Gems both rough and polished are clutched in organic settings or sparkle from the depths of silver and gold. Rough diamonds are pushed into molten metal, resulting in settings that cannot be replicated any other way.
