MALKI STUDIO | ‘Bloom + Serpent Stud earrings’ | Responsibly sourced sterling silver

These stud earrings are part of the ‘For Maria Primachenko Collection’ which celebrates Ukrainian culture. They feature a large central flower surrounded by a textured border reminiscent of Ukrainian embroidery. Flowers are a prominent motif in Ukrainian folk art and are often included in paintings and costumes (e.g. Petrykivka painting and vinok (flower wreath/crown)). A serpent appears to one side of each earring curving along the perimeter of the flower in a sinusoidal form. The snake features in several Ukrainian folktales and is also a symbol of the more devious events taking place in Ukraine during the ongoing war.
