Striking two-tone, half-and-half hoop Celtic-inspired earrings, in hollow 3D-printed Platinum and anodized blue Titanium, named for the brave young Prince of Dawn, in the story of the Lost Jewels of Caledonia.

Story

Intricately designed DPM 3D-printed featherweight mesh patterns weave and flow around the hoop like infinite twisting Celtic fractals, reimagined, reformed and reshaped into Platinum and anodized Titanium tubular structures with studded protective detailing.

The top surfaces of the metal allow the native finish of today’s latest technology to be left untouched below, as a time marker to uplift and celebrate the extraordinarily pioneering, innovative efforts of collaborative material research, design development beyond industrial breakthroughs, with direct metal printing resolution technology featured with refreshing honesty against the high polished top surfaces.

Technical Details

The ear hoops weigh 11.5g each (23g per pair), including 9.4g of Platinum per earring (Total 18.8g of Platinum and 4.2g blue anodized Titanium per pair). They measure 31mm x 30mm, and 5mm wide at the widest point. The ear hoops have a central hinge with a click closure. The ear posts are 7.2mm long and are anodized Titanium (100% hypoallergenic).

Hallmarked PLAT/MIX METALS by Maeve Gillies, via Edinburgh Assay Office, Scotland.

The lost jewels of Caledonia

Caledonia, a jewel-rich island, thrived under the rule of a kind King and Queen, whose decennial celebrations unveiled exquisite jewels representing its twelve kinships.

This collection, the TÙSAIRE, symbolized Caledonia's pioneering spirit.

But one day… all was nearly lost… While the kingdom was saved, the TÙSAIRE vanished.

Now, Caledonia faces a new challenge: rediscovering these precious symbols of their heritage, not merely as treasures, but as a source of inspiration for a new generation, hinting that the true pioneering spirit lies dormant, awaiting rediscovery.

an expression of innovation, imagination, and craftsmanship

To pioneer is to challenge what we know. Our collection presents a new way of making jewellery investment customisable, and challenges the boundaries of Platinum and its role in the industry.

about your jewellery

Process

Every piece is hand finished and one of a kind, merging traditional and state of the art precious jewelry manufacturing technologies and processes. These processes include: 3D-scanning (to fit and set rough Scottish stones), Direct 3D-printed metal (Laser Powder Bed Fusion); lost wax casting, traditional bench finishing, polishing, cold rivet assembly and stone setting.

Platinum sections feature internal visible printing supports and native surfaces as they come from printing. These elements are maintained carefully to showcase and preserve this moment in technology.

Titanium sections are colored by electrical anodisation; personalised colors can be custom ordered.

All precious metal is verified and hallmarked by Edinburgh Assay Office, Scotland.

Care

These one of a kind jewels are artworks, made to wear with care. Adjustments or custom fitting requests can be made at time of sale. Fragile gemstones need to be handled and stored with care. Titanium areas with color anodisation can be re-anodised if damaged. Repair or readjustment requests should be made to Designer directly, as they may involve processes and techniques not available to other workshops, such as reprinting metal and anodisation. In all cases, contact maeve@maevegillies.com for advice.
