Kauri Gum Drop Earrings | Anna Balasoglou

In these striking drop earrings, Anna Balasoglou works with a material deeply synonymous with the history of the North Island: Kauri Gum.

These honey-hued resin droplets are suspended from sterling silver hoops, creating a contemporary design that celebrates New Zealand’s prehistoric natural heritage.

Each piece of gum is unique, containing organic swirls and earthy inclusions that have been preserved for millennia.

Balasoglou’s minimalist silver settings allow the warmth and translucency of the gum to take centre stage, transforming a raw, ancient substance into a sophisticated statement of wearable art.

Dimensions:

Width - 17mm x Length - 65mm

Caring for your artwork

HANGING YOUR ART - Where possible, hang your artwork with two wall mounted hangers fixed to wall studs or wall anchors when necessary. Do not hang your artwork in direct sunlight or in a room with large temperature variations.

CLEANING - Clean glass with a non-ammonia based glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the artwork. Dust your paintings & frames with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Do not use cleaning products or water.

LOCATION - Hang your artworks away from very busy & possibly messy areas. Over time, artworks can accumulate a thin layer of dust, pollutants & airborne grime. Display your artworks in a less exposed area affected by these.

STORAGE - Prevent accidents & store your artworks away from anything that may press against the surface. Do not cover artworks with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, they may start to grow mold. Cotton sheets are best for keeping dust away.

PREVENTION - Try avoid subjecting your artworks to extreme changes in atmosphere. Avoid excessive dryness, humidity, heat or cold. Check the condition of your artworks periodically. Once hung up there is a tendency to forget about it until noticeable damage has occurred. If you notice the artwork is fading or cracking, move it to a better place & avoid further damage.

WE CAN HELP - If your artwork does get damaged, return the piece back to The Poi Room and we can advise the best course of action for you.
