Description

Kirsten Sonne made these Sea Glass earrings from glass she found on the beach. Each piece of glass carries a story of waves, tides and time. The Sea Glass earrings have an organic shape. They consist of transparent glass and brightly coloured green glass. With their imperfect beauty and sustainable origins, these earrings are perfect for those who appreciate one-of-a-kind, eco-conscious jewellery that captures the magic of the sea.

About the artist

Kirsten’s work is always chic and individual, often witty and full of fun.. She understands balance and proportion. A former graphic designer, she has contemporary art and design as part of her background.  She is also inspired by high-end,  street fashion, and other jewellery, modern and ethnic.

‘Since I graduated from Danish Design School, I worked as graphic designer with non-commercial graphic design (book covers, leaflets, posters, cd-covers etc) from my studio in central Copenhagen. I love my profession, but as the computer changed the way of working – no more brushes, pencils, paper, ink – I slowly started missing the connection with the materials and working with my hands.’

Recycled materials inspire her and are the basis of her work. She makes everything by hand and never exactly repeats a piece, though she sometimes pursues themes and series. So, you can count on each piece being unique. Often she will make  special ranges of earrings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces  to fit Groundwork’s themes.

Living and working in Denmark, Kirsten has her own shop in Copenhagen . She sells through many art galleries, and in England also sells at the jewellery gallery @work in London.
