Handcrafted in Ragusa Ibla

Handmade at La Bottega di Maristella in Ragusa Ibla, these earrings preserve Sicily's sfilato, a drawn-thread embroidery tradition documented as far back as the 14th century. Threads are carefully withdrawn from fabric, and the remaining grid is strengthened through intricate needlework. These square lace earrings echo that airy geometry, carrying the island's embroidery heritage into a small wearable ornament.
