Beautiful necklace and earring set, made entirely by hand. The necklace has a chain with pink beads and a pendant with pink and garnet crystals of various shapes and sizes, as well as earrings.
They measure: necklace overall length 110 cm, earrings diameter 6 cm
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 she embroidered her precious laces with patience and precision, and I watched her, in admiration, give life to a delicate beauty of shapes and colours.
Embroidery, in Sicily and beyond, has been for for women a hobby to cultivate but sometimes also a means to support the family income or to become economically independent.
