Introducing Vines and Hoofs of the Underworld, two pairs of earrings handcrafted entirely from antique Dutch silver spoon handles. These intricate earrings embody the untamed beauty of the underworld, drawing inspiration from the myth of Hades and Persephone. The flowing, vine-like design of the silver mimics the ancient roots that twist through the depths of the earth, symbolising both life and death—perfectly capturing the duality of the underworld.
Each earring showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of antique Dutch silver, with delicate, organic curves that evoke the image of vines winding through unseen realms. The history of the spoon handles adds a vintage charm and unique character to each piece, ensuring that no two pairs are exactly alike. These earrings are lightweight and easy to wear because of the stud backings, making them a graceful yet bold statement that connects you to the mystery of the ancient world.
