Fossa Chocolate x Ferne Atelier

While our operations were affected over the past few months due to the pandemic, we’ve been working on a project with one of our favourite local artisans. Ferne Atelier is a leading clay jewellery maker in Singapore and what’s most amazing is that every single piece of their wearable beauties are hand designed and sculpted by their talented founder.

Since Ferne Atelier’s signature designs very much revolve around nature and its intricacy, we were really excited to team up for a series of earrings inspired by various parts of the cacao plant.

It started with this:

And soon it became this:

Design 1, Textured Leaves

The top piece resembles the texture of cacao leaves while the bottom piece is an assembly of cacao pods, leaves and flower.

Design 2, Seeds & Husk

Inspired by freshly opened cacao pods, the top piece resembles an cacao pod with its juicy pulp and seeds exposed. The bottom attached piece has cacao husk incorporated.

Design 3, Studs

A smaller pair of studs for everyday wear. Ideal for a more casual and minimalist look.

In addition to the visuals, we really hoped to incorporate some elements of real cacao into these pieces so we decided to work some dried, roasted cacao husks into the clay. Kudos to Ferne Atelier who managed to work them out so beautifully! ♥

They even took the effort to design the earring holders! It’s all in the details.

These limited edition earrings are truly special pieces — every pair is skillfully sculpted by hand and the beautiful workmanship shows. They are now available within a bundle in on the web store. Check them out before they’re gone!
