Lightweight statement earrings to turn heads.
A pair of seahorses with shiny gold detailing hang from shell shaped lever-back hooks.
A favourite from the Siren collection; inspired by ancient obsessions with mythological fish-tailed beasts, and celebrating girlhood fairytale fantasies & 20th century Mermaid carnival exhibits & aqua shows.
Seahorses were traditionally a common good luck charm amongst Italian sailors, & have fascinated divers & aquarium-goers for centuries. In these original Rosita Bonita illustrations they have horse-like heads, representing the hippocampi - trusty leaders of Poseidon's chariot in tales from ancient Greece.
Choose from the original leather version, or new plant based option.
The Plant-based version is made using materials specially chosen to feel just as luxuriously tactile, lightweight & easy to wear as my Leather Jewels. The beautifully soft but durable surface is made from natural wood fibres, sourced from responsibly managed forests. This is mounted to a strong but lightweight base of eco-friendly bamboo. All products I use to colour, construct & finish these pieces are free of any animal derivatives and, to the best of my knowledge & research, have never been tested on animals.
Please note: model photos show leather version.
