Our Story
At Electrofawn, we believe in nature as the ultimate artist, and our responsibility to take care of her. Our artisanal jewellery pieces are crafted with care and creativity in our fully off-grid, solar-powered studio using foraged, vintage, recycled materials and ethically-sourced stones to showcase the unique wonders of the natural world. Incorporating the principles of wabi-sabi; the Japanese philosophical concept that celebrates impermanence, imperfection and the natural cycle of growth and decay, each piece is a celebration of individuality and beauty while remaining conscious of our environmental impact. Each piece we create is a wearable work of art, designed to bring joy and a deeper sense of connection between the wearer and the natural world. Join us in embracing a more sustainable and mindful approach to self-expression with Electrofawn.
At Electrofawn, we recently created these bespoke earrings using the customer's own opals for a personalised piece. Our custom design service brings your vision to life, or have a piece created intuitively for you! Connect with Virginia for your own unique creation.
What is Electroforming?
Electroforming is a fascinating jewellery-making technique that goes beyond traditional methods. It involves the meticulous deposition of metal atoms onto a conductive surface through an electro/chemical process, resulting in stunningly detailed metal pieces that boast a uniquely organic aesthetic. At Electrofawn, we have masterfully incorporated electroforming to elevate natural and ethically foraged elements like leaves, twigs, insect wings, naturally shed antlers and gemstones (actually, just about anything!) into exquisite wearable art pieces that capture the essence of nature's beauty. This technique perfectly embodies our brand's ethos of honouring nature's beauty and advocating for sustainable practices, showcasing our commitment to creativity, individuality, and environmental consciousness.
Each piece of jewellery we create using the electroforming process is truly one-of-a-kind. With electroforming, the original organic element—such as a cicada wing or a fallen leaf—is delicately encased in copper. This means the actual cicada wing is preserved within the copper, creating a unique and intricate piece that captures the natural beauty and details of the original element.
No two pieces are ever alike, as each one retains the distinct characteristics of the individual organic material used. Just as every cicada wing is unique, so is every piece of jewellery, making it as special and unique as the person who wears it. electroformed jewellery not only celebrates the artistry of nature but also ensures that you own a piece that is as singular and extraordinary as you are!
