Overview
These earrings were made by jewellery designer and artist Tracey Collins. She signed and dated them because 'I was also doing paintings during this time and I was signing those also. I guess it was a way of tracking for me the design developments in the designs of jewellery, and no two pairs were ever the same' (personal communication, 2015).
The earrings particularly evoke early nineties fashion in their boldness and use of materials such as mouldable polymer clay.
