Timeless earrings
Timeless earrings
In June 2024 I made lovely finds at an antique market in Venice. Timeless is the small series created with those materials.
These earrings feature antique/vintage metal links that would originally be used for rosary necklaces. When I cleaned and polished them, a lovely, delicate profile of a woman was revealed, I suspect it must be of Virgin Mary. My vision for Timeless was clear from the start, I wanted to add no other colour than pure, gently glowing white mother of pearl, it seemed just perfect to complement the look.
The beads are wrapped with silver wire, little rings are also silver and earring hooks are steel. The chain is previously unused vintage steel chain that looks delicate but is nothing of the sort but extremely durable and drapes beautifully.
Full length 8,5cm. Width max. 14mm. Lightweight and simply delightful to wear!
I am personally not religious but I have always found rosaries very beautiful and I like the meditative aspect of how they have been used for centuries. I wanted to treat these little Italian rosary links with respect and create an hommage to the universal symbolism of Mary. The motherhood, the purity and kindness, the peacefulness of her presence.
Availability is extremely limited, unique piece in this size and length. You can also find slightly lighter and shorter versions of Timeless earrings here in the Temps Perdu collection.
