These earrings deptict Madam Mojo in Sterling silver, framed in gold foil, a guilding technique known at Keum-boo. The triple breasted Goddess has the head of a rabbit and the cloven hooves of a goat. In one hand she holds a tiny globe, a symbol of her guardianship over earth and the human world. In the other hand she holds the egg, a divine symbol of life. The Divine Mojo reminds us that women have the power of the universe at their fingertips. Adorning oneself with this symbol brings forth the wearer’s own feminine power and creative possibilities. Including the ability to attract whatever and whomever she chooses.
For her 'New Religion' collection, Romy Mittelman collaborated with illustrator Jennifer Hopper to create a series of powerful female Goddesses that reflect the challenges, aspirations and hopes of modern woman.

The ancient practice of lost wax casting is very much a line in Romy Mittelman's work. She loves experimenting with the wax's texture and malleability before it is cast into silver or gold. Once transformed into the precious metal, stones can be added creating unique pieces of jewellery.
Romy has explored spiritual and religious iconography in her latest range, which deifies the modern woman elevating the multi-talented and multi-tasking everyday heroines of contemporary society to the realm of the immortals. Ancient jewellery techniques, styles and talismans are the central themes in Romy's work. She has also incorporated unlikely used objects in her jewellery, giving new life and value to once discarded items.
