Geometric Majolica

Description

Pendant earrings with hand-moulded and hand-painted Sicilian majolica. Decoration in shades of black and rust, mounted with onyx square stones and gilded silver earrings hook.
A collection inspired by the colourful Sicilian majolica, the precious hand-decorated tiles that lined the floors of the island’s most beautiful villas and opulent noble palaces. Each majolica contains an exotic charm resulting from the transit through Sicily of different populations and traditions.
Each piece in the collection is strictly handmade in all its stages, from the study and design of pattern, to its creation and decoration, to selection of the finishes and stones. Donna Pidda reinterprets the Sicilian traditional icons (majolica tiles, pine cons, Moor’s heads, prickly pear shovels and cart wheels) to bring to life vibrant and whimsical bijoux that lend a touch of typically Sicilian warmth/colour to any look. A collection that translate the colours and the materials of our land giving the wearer the opportunity not only to have a unique piece but also to take a piece of Sicily with them.

Technique: Each clay piece is shaped, air-dried, smoothed, decorated with acrylic colours and polished with water based paint.
