Green, Pink and Silver La Traviata Earrings by Maria Juchnowska, 2015

About This Piece

Show description

The La Traviata jewelry series, originally inspired by the opera, with the same name by Giuseppe Verdi set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, inspired the artist to create the porcelain jewelry. Traces of gold and silver seen on the pieces are an allegory to the collection name as was La Traviata, which means: The fallen woman. Traces of gold and silver are memories transferred onto porcelain.

The symbol of wealth is gold and silver and the fragility of porcelain symbolizes the weakness of 'The fallen woman'. La Traviata earrings are handmade with an original technique, using coloured porcelain and a 925 sterling silver back, which is safe for the ears. Porcelain is one of the most durable, sustainable and sophisticated materials used in contemporary jewelry. Colour: green and silver, size 1 x 3 cm. Easy to clean with warm water and soap.
