Oracle Veritas Silver Earrings - Romy Mittelman

The ancient practice of lost wax casting is very much alive in Romy Mittelman’s work. She loves experimenting with the wax’s texture and malleability before it is cast into silver or gold.  Her latest range explores spiritual and religious iconography, elevating the multi-talented and multi-tasking everyday heroines of contemporary society to the realm of the immortals. Romy’s journey as a jeweller began in 2003 in Rome, and she now shares her wealth of knowledge with jewellery students at Melbourne Polytechnic.

The Oracle Veritas is a goddess both loved and feared. Her unflinching soul-gaze takes the measure of all who worship her, and she demands that they reveal their true self not just to her, but to the world.

She is the goddess to whom all unrealised dreams must be revealed and all vulnerabilities divulged. Being brave enough to be yourself is the only way to appease her, but she offers unconditional love and acceptance should you do so.

In return she empowers her devotees to empathise with all the other flawed but beautiful mortals in this earthly realm.

These sterling silver earrings feature different images on each: the Goddess and her ruling symbol, the mirror.

Sterling silver

The earrings measure 36mm from the top of the hook and are 18mm wide.
