Part of the Hieracium family within The Flower Universe collection, this bold and captivating earring draws inspiration from the Hieracium vulgatum, or Common Hawkweed—a flower cherished for its symbolism of strength, determination, and resilience.
Expertly crafted from recycled silver, the earring showcases intricate filigree Hieracium blossoms, brought to life through a masterful fusion of wire manipulation and traditional handcrafted filigree techniques. The elegant, curved ear hook serves as an artistic abstraction of the flower’s essence, embodying its powerful message of perseverance and grace.
A perfect balance of profound symbolism and exceptional craftsmanship, this earring is a tribute to resilience and determination, making it an ideal choice for those who celebrate strength and elegance in their style.
Hieracium Ear Hook
Rooted in the heritage of Indonesia’s Pasisir Batik from Pekalongan, The Flower Universe collection reimagines the traditional Sekar Jagad batik through an alternate interpretation: in this view, "Sekar" means "flower" and "Jagad" means "universe," as opposed to the conventional "Kar Jagad," which translates to "world map."
While this interpretation differs, the core values and message remain unchanged: to celebrate diversity and embrace unity within it. We chose this alternate meaning to highlight the distinctive qualities of Central Java's Pasisir Batik, which is known for its rich floral motifs, each symbolising unique cultural meanings.
The collection is organised into Eight themed "universes" or families: Jasminum, Ixora, Hieracium, Sambucus, Achillea, Lobularia, Phlox and Bloom. Each of these reflects a unique floral world, showcasing the symbolic and artistic diversity that defines Pasisir Batik.
