Handmade earrings: Adornment with meaning
Romani people historically wore coins as both adornment and protection, carrying deep cultural, spiritual, and practical meaning. Coins represented portable wealth that could be safely carried during times of movement or uncertainty, while also symbolizing prosperity, family status, and ancestral connection. Many believed that silver and gold offered protection against negative energy or the evil eye, and the sound and movement of the coins themselves were thought to carry protective power.
Whispers of ancestry in every coin
My handmade earrings are more than just accessories; they are a profound connection to my Roma ancestry. Each piece is centred around coins, a powerful symbol of who came before me, which I am actively learning about and reconnecting with daily. This creative process is a way for me to honour my ancestors and seek their invaluable guidance.
Hear their guidance: a personal talisman
To me, these earrings are deeply metaphoric and symbolic. I create and wear them on my ears as a way to hear the guidance of my ancestors. Each pair is custom-made and handmade, especially for your unique energy, crafted to help you connect with your own ancestral wisdom. They are designed to be a personal talisman, resonating with your spirit.

I also take custom “intuitive” orders, where I can either create a pair inspired by your personal taste and style, or intuitively design something based on the energy and feeling I receive for you. Each piece is made to feel personal, symbolic, and entirely unique to its wearer.
