Light, dark and the mysteries of deep space are at play in these earrings by Christine Peters. Clusters of glittering constellations hang from elegant French wires bringing a sense of magic to the wearer. Sterling silver ovals are sprinkled with gold dust and delicate baubles that dance across the oxidized surface.

Inspired by the nature around her, Christine Peters has been creating one of a kind jewelry pieces since 1996, soon after she moved to Maine. She was originally trained in sculpture at Boston University, working in stone, clay, and steel.
Shifting to jewelry was a practical decision, which allows her to pursue her artistic creations with a bench and a torch, rather than needing a large studio. She received further training with Maine College of Art, Metalwerx, Haystack, and privately with several Maine jewelers. Now, she maintains a home studio where she works to consistently push her metalwork and design sense to new levels.
From the Artist:
Everything motivates me to create: a winter sunset, a branch, a bug, a tiny flower, the all-powerful sea. I am so fortunate to do what I love.
