Minoan bead earrings by Lalaounis

EDITOR'S REVIEW

• Lalaounis creates both figurative and abstract designs inspired by a wide range of themes from art to nature, architecture and the animal kingdom
• These long Minoan Bead earrings elegantly capture the sculptural aspect of the jewels of this époque
• The beads are an integral part of Minoan culture and here are rendered in a refined hammering technique of smaller dents associated with Hephaestus, the Greek mythical god of fire
• This finish adds depth to the natural lustre of the gold
• It is interesting to note that ancient vessels also often display this effect, unintentionally created from centuries of use
• Yellow gold
