Emilie Shapiro Water Lily Hoops

Freshwater rice pearls orbit on hand-hammered brass hoops paired with rough green garnet embedded in brass. Sterling silver posts. The perennial collection is inspired from continually recurring ideas and motifs. Art, history, people and even plant life tend to repeat themselves; but the interest lies in what and how we build on top of these ideas. What are the parts we take with us, the parts we leave behind, and the parts we create and recreate. Will the perennial power of art and poetry help us spiral inwards, outwards or even in a continuous circle. 1 1/2" length
