Tropical Palm Tree Earrings
$75.00
Statement tropical palm tree earrings, inspired by a slow paced, sunny holiday, on a beautiful palm fringed beach.
Each earring is crafted from two different Australian clays — a fine black clay for the upper piece and a sandy, flecked clay for the lower — layering tones found in tropical coastlines.
The lower piece features a palm tree motif hand-pressed using a custom clay stamp – carved by the artist using the sgraffito technique. The top pieces is glazed in a rustic ocean teal, and the bottom in a delicious milky white – with the palms rising through the colour. Hung on hand-textured recycled sterling silver hooks with silicone backs for secure wear.
A genuinely one-of-a-kind piece — made in a small studio on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Part of the Oceanic collection.

How they’re made
These earrings are one of the more technically layered pieces in the Meraki Fire studio — involving two different clays, a hand-carved stamp, and a two-tone glaze approach that requires careful application to achieve the right contrast.
The upper ceramic piece is formed from a fine black Australian clay; the lower, longer piece from a sandy, flecked Australian clay that gives the underside a natural, organic texture reminiscent of beach sand. Each piece is hand-shaped individually before a palm motif is pressed in using a custom clay stamp – hand carved using a sgraffito technique.
The sterling silver hooks are made from recycled silver, hammered at the front for a gentle texture, and finished with silicone backs to keep the earrings secure during wear.
What is a sgraffito stamp?
Sgraffito is a traditional ceramic technique where design is carved directly into clay or glaze. In this case, the technique has been used to hand-carve a free hand palm tree stamp — allowing it to be reused to create small batch collections. Because the stamp itself is handmade and each impression is applied by hand, subtle variation occurs naturally between pairs, making every set genuinely unique.
If you enjoy the effect of texture under milky white glaze you may also enjoy the White Sands Ceramic Earrings.

A note on one-of-a-kind: Because the palm stamp is applied by hand and each pair is formed individually, no two pairs will be identical. The placement of the palm motif, the glaze tones, and the proportions of each piece will carry their own subtle variation — the mark of something genuinely handmade rather than mass produced.
