Hand fabricated Mevia bronze earring with gold filled ear wire; 2 inch tall by 1.25 inches wide.
The Mevia Earrings are inspired by a small leather scapular Julie found at a flea market, which is a token of religious devotion. The earrings are called Mevia after the famous female Roman gladiator who fought with a spear. There's a lot of power in this pair of hammered bronze earrings.
And not to boast: But Helen Mirren wears these lovely earrings in the SHAZAM2 Movie!
Influenced by 20th century sculptors Noguchi, Calder, and Brancusi who drew their inspiration from primitive ethnic form and crafts, Julie’s work in jewelry has similar roots. Her pieces are about possibilities for layering and stacking to create one-of-a-kind collages or small sculptures that uniquely juxtapose disparate elements with simple elegance.
