Silver Sculptural Drop Earrings – Athena Earrings

These silver sculptural drop earrings are one of Nicky Forrest’s most elegant designs — fluid, elongated forms shaped by hand so the metal curves softly inwards, then unfurls again. They’re called the Athena Earrings, and they have that unmistakable balance of strength and delicacy that makes Nicky’s work so distinctive.

Each earring is formed from solid sterling silver, forged and shaped until the surface catches the light in a quiet but beautiful way. The lines are clean but organic, almost reminiscent of a folded petal or a ribbon caught mid-movement. Nothing about them is overworked or overly polished; they have that refined handmade quality that never tries too hard.

The drops are long enough to feel intentional and substantial, but still light on the ear. They sit comfortably, moving gently as you walk — subtle, but noticeable. They’re the kind of earrings that work with almost everything: contemporary minimal outfits, simple knitwear, or something more dressed up.

As with all of Nicky Forrest’s jewellery, every part of the making process is done by hand, using traditional silversmithing skills. No two pairs are ever identical, which is part of what makes them special. These earrings have presence without heaviness and feel like pieces you’ll wear for years.

If you’re looking for a pair of earrings that feel sculptural, modern, and understated all at once, Athena is an ideal match.
