Handmade with love by Rita Botelho with polymer clay and 935 silver 24k gold filled studs.

Production time: until 14 days.

Size: 25×465mm.

LAPA earrings are inspired by the small cone-like shells called limpets (lapas in Portuguese) that that are often seen firmly clamped to the side of rocks by the Ocean. In Portugal they are a typical delicacy, specially in Madeira and Azores. I use to call my daughter “lapinha” as a cute expression when she’s holding me so tight that is hard to detach and that analogy always makes me laugh.

Lapa is the first Piino design that uses different components in one piece, attached by a set of discrete rings handmade by me with gold filled wire. It’s a minimal design with a construction detail that gives a movement component that was missing in the collection. Hope you like them as much as I do!!
