Tamara earring drops with 10mm emerald beads on plain 9ct yellow gold Astrea hoops.
From the Journey to Sicily.
Tamara
Inspired by a stylised version of the fig tree ('Tamar', in Hebrew), I took the idea for the bracelet and earrings from a detail of the marble pillars in the cloisters of Monreale. King David's beautiful daughter was called Tamar(a), and so it seemed a charming name for a golden design that I made double sided so I could keep the lightness and delicateness of the carved fig tree and yet make it strong enough to be worn everyday.
