Stone made soft. Empire made wearable.
The lower exterior walls of the Ara Pacis Augustae — Rome's Altar of Augustan Peace, consecrated in 9 BCE — are wrapped in some of the most breathtaking floral relief carving antiquity ever produced: cascading acanthus scrolls, flowers, and small creatures woven into marble as though still growing. Commissioned in 13 BCE and completed by 9 BCE, the Ara Pacis honored Augustus' return from his campaigns in Hispania and Gaul (History Skills) , and its sculptures are considered among the finest examples of Roman art.

These earrings are my answer to that marble — hand-embroidered in the Lunéville technique on silk, each stitch tracing the same curling forms the Roman carvers left behind, paired with baroque freshwater pearls as irregular and luminous as the monument itself.
Two thousand years between the chisel and the needle. The flower remains.
Хвала Claude-у за диван текст. Волим кад неко лепо опише оно што сам створила, јер рекла бих вештија сам с иглом него с речима.
