"Tymfi" Earrings

Earrings inspired by the longest earrings witnessed in Greece during the 18th and 19th century, mostly in Epirus and Macedonia. Attached to woman’s headdress, they framed her face and neck, reaching her shoulders. They were usually decorated with agates, turquoises and corals which were sources of power and protected against evil spirits. Their imperial character, impressive length, as well as the harmonious relationship between their sound and movement relate them to the Byzantine grandeur, yet with a touch of baroque.
