Apollonia a bedda Trapanisi
€360,00
Description by the artist
The earrings Apollonia a bedda Trapanisi (Sicilian for Apollonia the beauty of Trapani) are inspired by the baroque style, which here in Sicily, especially in the east, is certainly the most imaginative and intricate in the world.
925/000 silver, polished burnished
Spheres: mediterranean red coral, first choice, not registered in the CITES lists.
My jewels are handmade and speak of land and roots, of sky and sea. They narrate my Sicily, its colors, its history, its strong contradictions. I was inspired by the prickly pear and its plots that bind us, harness us and that, magically, make us freer to dream. Handmade with imperfections and irregularities, which is unique.

The artwork in the Sicilian culture
By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation
The prickly pears (which inspired Roberto) are one of the great symbols of Sicily. They grow everywhere: on the sides of cliffs, in gardens, on the roofs of abandoned houses, on the sides of roads … Its fruit (ripe by the end of August) is delicious and much loved by Sicilians who also make rosoli and mostarda, a sweet typically prepared in jars, with the addition of carnations, cinnamon and almonds. Gelo is also very appreciated, a sort of gelatinous cream. Prickly pears were imported by Arabs during their domination (IX-XI century).
