Carolyn Zakarija: Feather Wing Earrings

Originally from London (now living in Pennsylvania), Carolyn Zakarija's work is inspired by her past and well as her current travels. As the granddaughter of a silversmith and engineer and the daughter of a true English gardener, Zakarija finds that her love of fauna, flora, and metals comes naturally.  

Carolyn is currently exploring different ways to mill, stamp, forge, fold, and hand fabricate silver and gold without the use of heat. She uses contrasting yet harmonious textures to add warmth to the silver and complement the gold. The forms may repeat, but they also give an abstract interpretation of their origins, whether flora, architecture, or the human form.

The movement on these beauties is exquisite —they are most definitely "art to wear"!
