Cat Box Chandelier Earrings

sterling silver, lavender cubic zirconia

The cat panels were fabricated in wax, casted in sterling silver and soldered together to make the frame. The basket was then created, attached and soldered together with jump rings leading to the shepherds hook. An oval Lavender Cubic Zirconia was then set and finally riveted in to the cat box frame.

Stephanie Mak is completing her final year as a VCC Jewellery student and learning different techniques to discover her own style. She is currently enjoying incorporating her love of cats in her designs.

Being a second-generation craftsman, Stephanie was never afraid to jump in and get her hands dirty. She has always been a creative person and drawn to fabrication in various medias from textiles to sterling silver.

Stephanie likes to play with the sharp lines within geometry and finds self expression using textures to create emotion when fabricating her one-of-a-kind handcrafted artwork. She also likes to include larger stones to make a statement.
