These 'Silver Plaza' Hand-Painted Ceramic Dangle Earrings by Independent Artisans are a modern and artistic statement piece. Designed by Ritu Thapar, who has a passion for terracotta jewelry, these kite-shaped dangle earrings are crafted from ceramic clay. A striking blue square sits at the center, framed by a hand-painted black and silver design. A glossy lacquer finish gives them a polished shine, and gleaming sterling silver hooks add a touch of luxury. These earrings are a perfect example of the artist's ability to transform clay into timeless adornment.
After more than a decade in the corporate world, this Indian artisan discovered her true passion in terracotta jewelry. A graduate of Jesus and Mary College in Delhi, she left her career to care for her young daughter, only to rediscover herself through clay. Inspired during a visit to Delhi Haat, she took courses in terracotta jewelry making and sought mentorship from a fine arts teacher to refine her technique. Working with clay sourced from riverbeds, she handcrafts beads and pendants that are baked, painted in vibrant colors, and finished with non-toxic lacquer. Her collections often draw on temple motifs of Hindu gods and goddesses, blending tradition with fashion. Since 2011, she has exhibited her jewelry in Delhi and beyond, gradually expanding to train young artisans and rural women, giving them dignified work. For her, each piece is a labor of love, inspired by nature, crafted with care, and filled with the joy of transforming clay into timeless adornment. She dreams of one day owning her own kiln and workshop to bring her brand fully to life.
Handcrafted from ceramic, 0.925 sterling silver hooks, and copper wire with a high polish finish. They measure 2 inches long x 1.2 inches wide x 0.1 inches deep and are finished with hook earrings. Due to their handcrafted nature, color, size, and/or motif may vary slightly.
