Earrings shaped like the things in the drawer

Enamelled brass charms on our own brass hoops. A thimble, a claw hammer, a paperclip, a pocket torch — twelve pieces, four drawers, $26 to $46. Sold as finished pairs, not as loose charms for someone else's hoops.

The whole range, in order of price

Twelve pieces. Price follows size and the number of firings, not fashion — the two-part hammer costs more than the paperclip because it takes longer to make.

Four drawers

The range is grouped by where the object would actually live. It is a filing system, not a story about craftsmanship.

01

Sewing box

Thimble, thread spool, safety pin. The three lightest things we make, 5 g to 6 g the pair, and the easiest to forget you have on.

From $26 02

Tool drawer

Claw hammer, spirit level, tape measure. The heaviest and the boldest — these read from across a room and are meant to.

From $32 03

Desk

Paperclip, rubber stamp, ink bottle. Two of the three have a blank face, because a label with writing on it decides who the piece is for.

From $26 04

Pocket

Key, padlock, pocket torch. The things that live loose at the bottom of a bag, which is where half of these will end up anyway.

From $32
A tray of unfinished brass charm blanks beside pots of green, orange and blue enamel powder on a workbench

Brass first, colour second

Every charm starts as a flat brass blank, cut and pressed to shape. The enamel goes on as a powder, is fired, and is fired again for any second colour. That is the whole process, and it is why a two-colour piece costs more than a one-colour piece of the same size.

It is also why the edges are not perfect. Enamel pulls back very slightly from a rim as it melts, so the brass shows as a thin bright line where the colour stops. We could grind that away and we do not.

Metal
Solid brass throughout, charm and hoop. Not plated, not filled.
Colour
Fired enamel, one pass per colour. No paint, no resin, no transfers.
Hoop
12 mm, hinged catch, the same on all twelve pieces.
Where
We are a Hong Kong company. The work is done by our manufacturing partner.
