Full description
"FLORILEGIUM" (The word is from the Latin flos (flower) and legere (to gather): literally a gathering of flowers).
This section of my hand painted jewellery is deeply influenced by my love of gardening and walks in the surrounding countryside.
I live in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where the Victorian Poet Laureate, Lord Alfred Tennyson was born. It is said that the Wolds had a great influence on his works, and so I thought, what better than to name my new large flower earrings after some of his poems and the countryside I love.
"Come into the Garden Maud"
For the black bat, night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the rose is blown.
This poem was said to be inspired by the gardens of Harrington Hall, next door to Somersby, where he grew up.
These beautiful earrings are my large bellflowers, hand painted in my usual unique style, with plum overlaid with blue and touches of gold. Bronze bead caps sit inside the flowers surrounding Swarovski crystal rounds and bicones in matching colours. The bead caps are repeated above the flowers with two others, and a repeat of the crystal bicones. They are shown with brass hooks, but you may choose your desired ear wires from the drop-down menu.
