Dusk Spirit

"Dusk Spirit” is a nod to the serene transition where the fading light of day meets the onset of night, much like the rich aubergine hues reflecting the depth of twilight. The Herkimer diamonds, known for their clarity and ethereal sparkle, represent the lingering brilliance of the setting sun or emerging stars. The "spirit” in the title is about breathing life into this moment, capturing the subtle vitality of dusk—the in-between time when the world seems to pause and breathe. 

The colour aubergine, a rich, deep shade of purple, is often associated with mystery, power and spiritual depth. When paired with the concept of spirit (inspirare meaning "to breathe into"), the earrings could symbolize the act of infusing vitality into spaces or moments that seem quiet or still. The deep color reflects a state of inner reflection or potential, while the Herkimer diamonds represent a burst of light or life, glistening against the backdrop of aubergine.

Herkimer diamonds are known for their exceptional clarity and light, a reference to the clarity of spirit—like a breath that clears the mind. They act as tiny sparks of life, breathing brightness into the darker, contemplative hues of the porcelain, symbolizing moments of enlightenment or clarity, brought forth from the depths of the soul.

The circular shape of the earrings evokes ideas of cycles—of life, breath, and spirit. Circles, in many cultures, represent wholeness, eternity and the infinite loop of energy that breathes life into all things. Here, the circle reflects the idea that spirit is a continuous cycle, ever present and flowing, much like the breath that sustains life.
