Our Ornate Tortoise & Hare Earrings feature a pair of textured loops inspired by the details of grecian columns, overgrown with leaves and vines.
They have been handmade by our expert jewellers in Sterling Silver, with the option of licensed Fairmined Gold Plate. This plating has been responsibly sourced from the Iquira Mine in the Huila region of Columbia.
Passed down over centuries of storytelling, our Fables collection sees Alex and our design team craft a glittering world of folklore and morality inspired by the age-old wisdom of Aesop.
