Gorgeous set in golden tatting lace, made entirely by hand.
The earrings are two overlapping flowers with corals and the bracelet, adjustable in size, is made up of four small flowers with corals.
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 embroidered, with patience and precision, her precious laces, and I watched her, in admiration, give life to a delicate beauty of shapes and colors.
Embroidery, in Sicily and beyond, was for women a hobby to cultivate but sometimes also a means to support the family income or to become economically independent.
