Daphne Flower Earrings

Sterling silver star-shaped flowers (approximately 10-12mm), with 10k solid gold centres, hanging from your choice of either sterling silver hook or hoop (please choose from the drop down menu). 

Each little daphne flower's gold centre is individually hand soldered, so no two flowers will be identical, and will vary slightly from the images shown. 

New Zealand’s native daphne (Maori name Pinatoro) is a fast growing ground cover, which becomes speckled with tiny starry white flowers over Summer.  Daphne flowers symbolise immortality, honesty and sweetness.

Lily Griffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.  

Lily Griffin Jewellery by Nicki Cliff 

A love for Aotearoa is the primary inspiration behind Nicki’s beautiful pieces -  “I feel very lucky to have been born in New Zealand.  I remember long lazy school holidays camping in Oakura Bay and Mangawhai Heads, making daisy and buttercup chains, investigating beach rock pools, and going on bush walks through native forests”. Nicki started creating jewellery in 2013, wanting to evoke these memories in her work, and with a background in painting and sculpture, she experimented with porcelain paint and sculpting fine silver. Being totally self-taught meant lots of researching techniques and testing ideas - helping the pieces come to life through handcrafting! All of this is done at her small studio in Auckland, overlooking the family courtyard garden, where Nicki works in between looking after her children; Lily and Griffin.
