Tribute Earrings – The Collection
When I think about what makes me LOVE a piece of fabric, or mural, or colorful interior design, in most cases it comes down to the unique illustrations behind the pattern/depiction in all these things.
If you visit my pinterest page, you’ll see that I haven’t shared my work in a loooong time (Facebook and Instagram are enough!). But! If you’re interested in seeing what INSPIRES ME, then this is where I keep a log of everything that makes me feel creative.
As I began revisiting some of my pinterest boards, I noticed how the artistic works of a handful graphic illustrators is quite prominent in my boards.
Today, I’m excited to share with you a super fun statement earrings collection that is 100% inspired by some of these artist’s works. Don’t let the earrings’ simplicity deceive you! They were more time consuming to make than I thought! Creating them was all about following the inspiration, having fun and being playful. This collection is also an excuse to celebrate the illustrators that inspired me and shine a spotlight on their works. I feel hugely grateful to those who awaken inspiration in me. Inspiration is the “magic juice” that makes me feel like an artist.
Below you’ll see, what I’ve called, “tribute earrings” inspired by:
- CASSIE BYRNES: http://cassiebyrnes.com
- TOM ABBISS SMITH: http://tomabbisssmithart.com (if you enjoy instagram, you can follow Tom’s work here: @tomabbisssmithart )
- GARIMA DHAWAN: http://society6.com/garimadhawan
These gorgeous statement earrings are surprisingly VERY LIGHT, and therefore, very comfortable to wear.
In terms of dimensions, yes they’re big. We’re not afraid of size as long as it works. The “Serenity” earrings are 2.75 inches long and 1.7 inches wide (7cm by 4.5cm). The “Cassie” earrings are a little over 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide (8cm by 4cm).
Having said that, these earrings are available to be commissioned in smaller sizes, but in DIFFERENT designs. These are tribute earrings, that allow you to see the possibilities of a pair of custom-made earrings made just for you.

Important Note (for further clarification): All the earrings inspired by TOM ABBISS SMITH’s work will NOT be available for sale, as the other ones. (Tribute only)
I loved making these, and I suspect that I’ll be expanding their range into full sets of necklaces, earrings and bracelets as well, but based on completely different designs 🙂
What do you think? If you’ve enjoyed this, or you have any questions or comments, let me know below and I’ll reply as quickly as I can (I’d love to know!).
Stay well, stay happy and stay healthy. And let us all have a fantastic summerl!!

these are beautiful! I am happy to see that you were inspired by painted pebbles….keep going!
Hi Veruschka. I had an “Aha!” moment while reading your article on the inspirations for these fabulous earrings when you described where the ‘made-up pressures’ come from. I thought to myself, “Oh my gosh! This is it! After all these years of wanting to play yet feeling as tho something was ‘in the way’ of doing what I really want to do. I love these earrings. They are fun, spontaneous, bright and colourful and just what everyone needs in their everyday lives. Thanks so much for sharing.
Exciting and beautiful as usual..
Thank you Lise! It’s lovely to “read” you!
Just wonderful to see a young Australian designer/illustrator being one of your feature artists Cassie Byrnes makes excellent designs and uses some of them as fabric for fashion and homewares. I have one of her fabulous dresses – must get some earrings to match.
I just think that everything you do is filled with such positive vibes, that I just want to have it no matter what.
Your work is not just beautiful, but it feels good! ALSO! Thank you for clarifying AGAIN! that these are not for sale. I’d love a custom order though! Just sent you an email!
I’m so happy you feel that way, Claudia! Thank you 🙂
I ADORE THEM!!!! I just sent you an e-mail for a custom order. So excited with this new direction!
Got it Mary! I’m excited to begin working on them 🙂
