18kt gold earrings featuring twinkling stones of ruby, handmade with care by the talented artisans of Turquoise Mountain Myanmar. The collection is called the Secret Garden as the gold flowers, trees and butterflies can flourish in a hidden place where symbolically one can find internal freedom and peace. The butterfly is a poignant symbol of transformation and rebirth which the world certainly feels it has gone through in these last troubled two years.
