Bid to win a pair of stunning limited-edition dangling Tagua Seed earrings with Mabe Pearls & Diamonds by Alexandra Mor!
The Tagua Seeds Collection was launched September 2017 at Vogue Italia's annual US Protagonist event and is the first collection of Haute couture jewelry to feature the Tagua seed, a botanical alternative to elephant ivory. With this collection, Alexandra Mor intends to bring attention to Tagua seeds as a luxury material and help save the elephant habitat from the verge of extinction. [Please watch the short film below to learn more about this unique capsule collection and Alexandra’s inspiring creative journey in Bali.]
The piece is designed with prolific carvings in 22 karat yellow gold that are inspired by the symbolic practices and techniques in ancient Balinese gold work, where design motifs feature vines, leaves and tendrils that entwine temples while mythical creatures peer out from moss-covered walls. Found in temples all over Bali, the Padmasana, or lotus flower is a representation of the cosmos and symbolizes purity of the body, speech, and mind. Rooted in the mud with beautiful and serene flowers that float atop the water’s surface, the lotus form is symbolic of the individual’s attachment and desire while the drops of water that slips easily from its petals is a reminder of detachment. Limited edition of 5. Signed by the artist. Hand-carved and crafted with love and ancient wisdom.
