Crocheted by the Reef, Carved in Malachite
Congo is exactly that: deeply saturated, hypnotically banded, a green so intense it feels kinetic, as though movement itself has been mineralised. When a stone carries this much visual authority, the design’s job is restraint.
The inspiration emerged during a dive in Tulamben, where colonial tunicates covered the substrate in quiet, improbable elegance. Fixed to rock yet visually weightless, their translucent bodies and fine geometric lattices looked almost engineered, as if light had learned how to organise itself into living structure. I remember lingering there, completely absorbed by the strange tension between fragility and precision, taking frame after frame of forms that felt closer to sculpture than biology.
Malachite became the only honest translation of that visual rhythm, its flowing bands echoing nature’s instinct for pattern. Flamboyant blue apatite introduces the cool oceanic counterpoint.
At 6.5 centimetres long, these earrings hold that same balance between structure and dream.
