Pamela Card - The Treasures of Fruttuoso Earrings in Gold

Where time stands still, these decadent hoops are an ode The Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Camogli on the Ligurian coast - accessible only by boat or foot path through the mountains. The abbey is whispered to have been a pirates’ den in a past century. Designed as golden treasure unearthed from the abbey, these earrings are the result of ‘cire perdue’ - an ancient process where the hoops are sculpted in wax before being cast in sterling silver or solid gold. Designed to boast an extravagant past while appearing fractured and molten from years of wear, these glossy fragments beg us to tell a tale as unique as their own.

Butterfly and stud closures for pierced ears.
