Violet garland statement earrings
Shimmering purple violet statement earrings - Sappho’s favourite flowers!
Purple and lilac marbled acrylic with gold mirrored acrylic and hand-painted details. One wreath is engraved with an extract from Sappho’s fragment 147, and its pair is engraved with my English translation.
Please note: due to the nature of the marbled materials used, colours may vary slightly from those pictured. This makes each piece completely unique!
Handmade in Scotland as part of the Sappho’s Garden collection, inspired by the fruits and flowers that Sappho describes in her poetry.
In Ancient Greece, violets were associated with Aphrodite and Apollo. The poet Pindar called Athens ‘violet-crowned’. Mentions of violets and purple-coloured flowers recur in Sappho’s poetry, and have become a symbol of queer and sapphic love.
