Thread Spool Earrings — Cream & Rose

A cotton reel with the thread still on it: a cream enamel spool with a band of dusty rose wound around the middle. The band is laid over a ribbed base so it reads as wound thread rather than a painted stripe.

It is the only piece in the range with two enamel colours on one charm, and the second firing is why it costs more than the thimble beside it.

Specification

• Charm: enamelled brass, cream and dusty rose
• Hoop: polished brass, 12 mm, hinged catch

Brass darkens slowly with wear; a jeweller's cloth brings it back in a minute, and the enamel needs nothing but a wipe. Take them off before swimming or showering. Full guidance is on Care & Materials.
