Secrets of the princess earrings, revived in the detail of crochet.
Her face changed. Her eyes lit up, and her whole inner world fit inside her smile. Every curve of the earring was a secret of an old love. Silent and tender. Eternal.
The Princess Earrings were not a piece of jewellery. They were silent promises of a love that had survived time.
In this piece of crochet jewelry, Alice Aranha becomes the artisan of a heart that chose to love. Her Princess Earrings are made in crochet, with cotton threads. Which she herself dyes with natural ingredients, the pink tones through cochineal, purple with cochineal and indigo. The greens with mignonette and indigo. The hook is silver.
Every detail reveals delicacy: firm fuchsia sepals along the crochet threads, purple inner corollas, and loose threads that lengthen the earrings, simulating lightness and movement. In her hands, the Princess Earrings gain new life. Organic, natural. Magical.
An artisan and crochet jeweller, Alice discovered early on her love for textiles and natural fibres – wool, silk, linen and cotton. And she learned to give them the colours nature offers. In her art there is touch, passion and care. Alice Aranha doesn't just make earrings: she creates the sparkle in a gaze, the love that stays.
