SIR. Our SIR. x Frankie Tobin collaboration wouldn't have been possible without you both. It also led to us designing our first jewellery capsule as a design collaboration with your other baby, Henson & Gold. 

Our design team worked closely with you to pull shapes from Frankie’s artworks to which were then formed into our newly launched singular earring collection. From sketches, to moulds, to reality – can you talk us through the process of crafting the earrings? 

GOLDIE: We wanted to make sure that Frankie’s shapes really came to life through each earring, but to also ensure the shapes worked as an accessory and were flattering around the face. We experimented with wax that I hand carved and moulded into different versions to see which would work best as earrings. Playing around with the shapes to see which worked best together or on their own, then adding in the resin stones. Once we chose the designs that worked best, we sent the wax moulds to get cast into brass and then worked on the final sample set. Seeing the final designs come together was so exciting for us all, it really has been a great experience and process. Especially as this is a new category for SIR. it’s been awesome to be involved in this journey and to bring our brands together merging our loves of art, design and jewellery. 

SIR. What are some of the main considerations you think about when making jewellery? 

GOLDIE: I think it’s always about understanding the customer and making sure I’m capturing their wants and needs from the very start. Jewellery is very personal and each piece I make has been created with the customer front of mind. Even when working on engagement rings and when I can’t meet the person because it’s a surprise, I make sure I see a photo of the person who I’m designing for so I can understand their individual style to ensure that this design will suit their everyday lifestyle, fashion as well as the other jewellery they may already wear.
