HAYDEN EARRINGS | 18K Gold & Platinum

Inspired by the popular antique arcade game ‘Snake’ the Pixel collection is a comical reflection of our modern life. In the game, the player manoeuvres a line that grows in length. With the line itself being a primary obstacle, the player aims to grow and avoid running into itself. From start to finish, there is no break for the player. The game finishes when we crash into ourselves, and this gives the player a sense of pressure and urgency because everything is moving, and when we grow, our obstacles grow simultaneously. If we take a step back and compare the game to modern life, we can see a comical similarity between the two.

The collection uses a combination of semi-precious stone and hand-painted enamel to create an architectural and Art-Deco style of jewellery. Edward took inspiration from Post Modernism and Cubism arts for the enamel colour, and he also took references from Brutalism and Parametricism architecture for the structure of the jewellery, creating a truly unique and avant-garde style of jewellery. The Hayden Earrings’ open and close mechanism is inspired by the skeleton of a snake jaw. This design is also available in gold vermeil or rhodium plated silver and in a plain version. Our jewellery is designed to be gender non-binary and enjoyed by everyone.

All the pieces from the collection are made with Fairtrade or recycled precious metal. Each piece of semi-precious stone is hand-selected by Edward and cut by our trusted craftsmen. Each enamel block is painted by hand and carefully polished by our artisans to achieve a perfect flashed finish.
