These beautiful 'Goddess of Protection' earrings made in oxidised sterling silver have be made by Romy Mittelman in collaboration with illustrator Jennifer Hopper to create a series of powerful female Goddesses that reflect the challenges, aspirations and hopes of modern women. These blackened silver earrings feature the Goddess of Protection as a dominant female with both the intellect and ability to protect herself against life’s vicissitudes. Her many hands hold all a woman requires to tackle the working week including money, a dagger (for emergencies only), a bell to ward off evil and the keys to open any emotional lock. The Serpent of Unseen Danger is her constant companion, detecting other ‘snakes in the grass’ should they approach. By wearing the Goddess of Protection one is able to activate one’s own self-protective powers in the home or at work.

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.
