Memory of a broken hoops
Large statement earrings featuring the impression of a broken hoop earring and a hook earring, the impression reminiscent of a fossilised jumbled jewellery box whose memory has been captured in silver. The two earrings are asymmetrical; one side features a Labradorite briolette as the stone is the only element left from the original earrings.
MATERIALS

The earrings are hand made in London and made to order to avoid excess production, for this reason they can take up to 4 weeks to be crafted. If you have any particular requests or would like this item to be customise please email info@carolasolcia.com
COLLECTION
The jewellery in the impression collection is reminiscent of a fossilised jumbled jewellery box whose memory has been captured in silver and gold. The collection is part of a collaborative project with a perfume creator and a creative writer. Exploring the subject of fragmented memories, the collaboration found its physical space in an exhibition during Milan design week in April 2023. Each piece of jewellery is associated with a short story and a scent that all together create new narratives.
The Memory of a broken hoops earrings are associated with this scent and story:
Ambrettolite
Piovve nel bosco, e
non ci parve vero
che fosse bello pungersi
per cogliere le more.
//
It rained in the woods, and
it didn’t seem real
that it was nice to prick
to pick the blackberries.
MEASUREMENT
Silver measure 35x25mm. The labradorite measure 12x8mm
