More than decoration. Contemporary art jewelry as desire, discourse, and discovery.

Daniela Boieri

Made from patinated silver, these earrings by Daniela Boieri present a balance of restraint and irregularity. The circular studs are connected by slender vertical rods to pear-shaped drops, emphasizing linear contrast and controlled movement. Subtle surface variations—produced through Boieri’s deliberate use of heat and oxidation—introduce a textural complexity that reflects her command of metal patination.

Formally, the earrings showcase Boieri’s interest in clean geometry disrupted by organic surface treatment. Symbolically, the contrast between polished and darkened silver suggests a tension between clarity and corrosion, an ongoing theme in Boieri’s studio practice. The work, though understated, carries the mark of careful handwork and a personal process of problem-solving that informs the final aesthetic. As is typical of Boieri’s work, the earrings function both as adornment and as records of material investigation.
