Earrings in gold-colored chiaccherino lace, coral paste and turquoise paste. They are entirely handmade. The price refers to the pair.
They measure 5cm wide x 8cm long including pendants
My emotion:
Skilled hands intent on embroidering precious details: this image accompanied my childhood, like that of many children here in Sicily.
Under the clear light of the skylight of her house, my grandmother patiently and precisely embroidered her precious laces, and I watched, admired, giving life to a delicate beauty of shapes and colors.
Embroidery, in Sicily and beyond, has been a hobby for women to cultivate but sometimes also a means to support the family income or to become economically independent.
