The Olympia Earring is a sculptural drop built around one of the oldest decorative motifs in Western design — the anthemion, a classical palmette form drawn from ancient Greek ornament.
An oval disc in gold plated sterling silver, the surface worked into a delicate openwork relief of radiating fronds and scrolling forms — precise in its reference, confident in its scale. The disc hangs from a 14k rolled gold french wire, the warm tone of the hook continuous with the charm beneath it.
A piece that carries its references lightly, worn as armour or accent in equal measure.
Charm: gold plated sterling silver
Hooks: 14k rolled gold french wire
Total hanging length: 30mm
Charm width: 21mm
