Love Tokens: My Love’s Ear, Custom

Love Tokens: My Love’s Ear, Custom

from $750.00

Each ear is a custom order. 

Alongside eyes and fingerprints, our ears are among the very few externally visible aspects of our bodies that are entirely unique.

During the 18th century emerged a type of jewel called “the lover's eye" - painted miniatures of a loved one's eye that have been set in lieu of gems in various jewelry pieces. That is what was on my mind when I was working on carving this little ear.

Much like the eye, this miniature ear might seem like it could belong to almost anyone, and yet once you look closely, it truly signifies just one individual. & Like the lover's eye jewels, only those that have been told about the "sitter" know to whom the ear belongs.

A beautiful and delightfully whimsical way to keep a loved one close. 

The ear pendant measures approximately 1 inch (25mm). 

After you submit an order I will email you to get a photograph of the ear on which you’d like to base this miniature.


*Note: additional copies of the ear can requested when I’m working on your piece & would be available at a discount. $450 for any copies in silver or bronze, and $1,000 for any additional copies in gold.
