Spirits of the Sea Earrings

Penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere and were unknown to the early explorers. Captain Cook took with him Johann Forster on his second voyage of discovery. Aged 17, Forster recorded the wildlife of the cold southern oceans – seals, whales, fish, seabirds and penguins. He created over 600 drawings, from which this jewellery has been inspired.
