Somethings are meant to go together – bread and butter, Kate and John, gloves..earrings. So what do you do if one goes missing?
If you’re artists Lauren Sagar and Sharon Campbell you turn them into a work of art – The Chandelier of Lost Earrings.
It’s a concept of multiple layers – the power of many, making something out of nothing, the transformative power of change. More than 3,000 earrings were donated by people who wanted to be part of the project originally linked to St Mary’s maternity hospital in Manchester.
Along with earrings, letters and stories were attached from each donation.
Collectively it’s a jewel of a piece.
I’m just glad they never considered socks.

What a beautiful way of curating lost objects. Lost earrings — and socks — are one of my pet peeves!
Isn’t it beautiful? We have two attitudes to socks..husband and I buy/share the same design religiously so odd socks don’t matter. Charlie believes in odd socks! Oh youth! xxx
Talk about repurposing! 💕

Such a lovley example of it..and I love the stories. I liked one about a plant that was given to someone having an operation in hospital..and a gold heart earring fell out! It was sent on to the collection.. xxx
Thanks for sharing this. Truly joyful idea and a fabulous finished product xx
