The Positive Space collection of gemstone drop dangle earrings brings you simple elegant jewellery, with a joyful bohemian twist.
Owners of these special handcrafted earrings often remark about how many compliments they've had when wearing them.
Each pair features sterling ecosilver or gold vermeil wire, adorned with cascades of green and blue gemstones - including emerald, kyanite, amazonite, zircon, labarodite, apatite, and gold rutilated quartz - in a myriad of different combinations, inspired by riverboat life.
These are earrings that celebrate and play on the theme of negative space. As with art, the negative space in the middle of these earrings is a positive, bringing attention to the gemstones so that the unusual stripped-back design and sparkly gemstones become supremely pleasing to the eye.
Positive energy is entwined into their making: when the woman-shed is cold in winter, I put down the hammer, saw and soldering torch and, instead, sit and handcraft these pretty handcrafted boho earrings in my cosy riverboat, next to the warmth of the wood burner.
Each mininalist cascade earring is carefully handmade to create a matching pair, featuring small blue and green gemstone beads that compliment the delicate silver or gold vermeil wire.
Making them is all about carefully shaping and twisting precious metal wire, before threading tiny gemstones onto thin silver and gold fill wire headpins. There is definitely an art (and a lot of practice) that goes into getting the overall shapes and wire loops right first time, every time!
Shape options include small or medium triangle drop earrings, a cute small circle earring, or more fancy dangle drop earring... depending on your personal style or the occasion.
This is one-of-one jewellery - every single pair is different, dependent whether it features silver or vermeil gold wire and the different combination of gemstones.
When you buy earrings from the Positive Space Collection, you will receive a unique pair of handcrafted gemstone dangle earrings. Occasionally the wire is hammered too, where this finish suits the featured gemstone drops.
The detail
An indication of each shape's full length is detailed in the 'Shape & length' section.

You are welcome to request a specific length of necklace chain, and/or an exact ring size. There is no extra charge for this service, but please do ensure you specify your requirements within the comments when placing your order.

Necklace, bracelet, bangle or anklet lengths:
Simply take a tape measure and loop around your neck, wrist or anklet (you may need someone to help), or even better use a necklace, bracelet or anklet that is of the length you would like and measure it from end to end (including catches and clasps)
For further help, please check out my handy guide to necklace lengths!
Ring sizes:
If you are unsure of your size, I would strongly recommend purchasing a ring sizer like this one (£1.20). Please note that this is for illustration purposes only; I have no affiliation with Amazon or this seller and you can obviously choose to buy these from other providers).
Alternatively this guide will help you find the correct measurement for the finger you wish to wear the ring on. Please double check before sending your order and bear in mind that your knuckle which the ring needs to move over, may be bigger than the base of your finger where it will sit.
Bespoke requests
I have presented the standard options for variation – such as size variations, satin or high shine finish - and you may select these to suit your preferences when placing your order.
If you love a design, but would like another finish not listed, such as the item in gold, gold plate, two different metals, or with the extra touch of a stone (or stones) added, please contact me direct, by emailing your contact phone number to dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk.

Hallmarking
Legally in the UK, any silver piece of silver jewellery weighing more than 7.78g, must be hallmarked in order to be sold as silver. Many of my creations weigh less than this, but I sometimes choose to get them hallmarked anyway (see individually listings).
Jewellers who use hallmarks, are reassuring you of the quality of precious metal they use, ensuring your chosen piece stays special long into the future.
You can learn more about what the hallmarks mean and why they are important in this pdf, or watch the video below.
