Part of the Black Dahlia
Collection, these 3" drop earrings feature jet lucite teardrop hoops
trimmed in Swarovski crystals hanging from lucite cube bead posts with
crystal "thorn" embellishments.
Tarina's long-time obsession with the turn of the century is explored in this bristling presentation of high Victorian style. Considered the grandest form of 19th century jewelry craft, jet pieces dominated the finest parlors and social gatherings with their opulent austerity. Tarina was compelled to modernize and reinvent this legend and bring it back into the spotlight. When she was confronted with a complete lack of color, every element, every bead, and every crystal had to be chosen and composed to reflect the maximum light, not an easy task for exclusively black components. The result is a dazzling and completely new presentation of this mysterious and compelling material.
