Gold Plated Vermeil Silver Quill Small Hoop Earrings

Shaun Leane’s Quill mini hoop earrings are fearsomely elegant, with a tapering form designed to imitate the sweeping curve of a porcupine quill.

The untamed beauty of Shaun Leane’s designs draws inspiration from the claws, feathers and quills of the natural world, offering a beguiling combination of traditional goldsmithing techniques and ultra-contemporary styling. Each of these earrings is characterised by a tiny, tapering hoop formed of a high-polished, gold plated vermeil silver quill with the designer's signature double-sided post fastening. Style them with a coordinating Quill choker necklace for a sleek, evening-ready curation that celebrates the dangerous beauty of the natural world.

“I admire the past masters who – with their style and craftsmanship – created fine jewellery that was distinctive of its time. I like to fuse elements of tradition with a contemporary design approach. We cannot look to the future of design without remembering our past.” – Shaun Leane
