Scorpio Astrology Drop Studs

The Astrology Collection is inspired by the way our interwoven knowledge of science and mythology are inextricably linked to create our personal identities as our stories form our cultural DNA. In Ancient Greece, the story of Scorpio is told in different versions of the myth of the great hunter Orion. In one, he comes across the seven daughters of Altas and Pleione and tries to pursue them. When they cry out to Zeus for help he transforms the sisters into the stars known as the Pleiades and causes a scorpion to kill Orion with its venomous sting who is then placed to protect them in the stars.

The earring is formed of a simple stud which supports a circle - considered to be the most geometrically perfect shape - holding an accurate cluster of the stars forming the constellation, which is held suspended in space by delicate wire.

The Astrology Collection is inspired by the way our knowledge of science is interwoven with the enduring legacy of the classical myths. For me, the two are inextricably linked, thus creating both our personal identities, and the stories which form our cultural DNA.
