These Costa Rican Brass Accent Sterling Silver Drop Earrings 'Ylang Ylang Fruit' by Soledad Borel evoke the fragrant ylang ylang plant. Soledad Borel transforms sterling silver into modern drop earrings, with diminutive globes of gleaming brass that conjure the fragrant yellow fruit. Her eclectic designs merge elegance with sustainability, reflecting both nature and global influences. She dreams of building a cooperative to teach silversmithing to other women, offering them the same independence and creative fulfillment she has found.
Chilean-born artisan Soledad Borel has lived in Costa Rica for many years, where she designs and crafts jewelry in her home workshop. Since the mid-1990s, she has worked with silver, gold, and semi-precious stones, often combining them with natural and reclaimed materials such as sea glass, wood, and ceramics. Her love for jewelry began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s ethnic collection and her father’s gifts from around the world. Travels through Africa deepened her appreciation for beads and cultural adornment, and later studies in metallurgy and techniques such as mokumé and filigree refined her craft. Today, her eclectic designs merge elegance with sustainability, reflecting both nature and global influences. Committed to empowering women, she dreams of building a cooperative to teach silversmithing, offering others the same independence and creative fulfillment she has found.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and brass, these post earrings weigh 0.17 oz and have a high-polish finish. They measure 1.7 inches L x 0.3 inches W. The color, size, and/or motif may vary slightly.
