These earrings were inspired by a passeggiata, or stroll, through an outdoor market in Naples, Italy. Stalls of aromatic spices, freshly caught fish, and even flip flops, undies and household tchotchkes intoxicated our senses. We thought of a rose - beautiful to look at, fragrant to smell, and even sweet to taste - and worked with master craftsmen to capture this moment and the lesson learned: Always stop to smell the roses.
