This pair of seahorses are cut from smooth white leather, embossed by hand with shiny metallic gold foil, and hung from shiny gold-plated leverback hooks. These are statement earrings designed to turn heads, but they are really lightweight and wearable too.
In these original Rosita Bonita illustrations the seahorses have horse-like heads, representing the hippocampi, the trusty leaders of Poseidon's chariot in tales from ancient Greece. Made by Ro in her Margate studio.
Fom the Siren collection; inspired by ancient obsessions with mythological fish-tailed beasts, and celebrating girlhood fairytale fantasies and 20th-century mermaid carnival exhibits and aqua shows.
Overall earring drop length is 10cm. Seahorse measures 8cm high by 3cm across.
