Mesmer is part of the SGRAFFITO collection. The name refers to the Austrian physician Franz Anton Mesmer, famously reputed to have invented hypnotism. The design is both primitive and modern, simple and ornate. Concentric circles of sgraffito, like a tree trunk's, are carefully scratched over two layers of enamel.
The ear wires are sterling silver and come with silicone ear backs included.
(Slight variations from the photographed item are inevitable due to the nature of this work. Each design is hand-painted onto the glass).
About Momo:
We met in Andalucia. Partly because of a dog. And we traveled all over Spain that first year and as we went we read a book out loud together called "Momo."
Later on, when we started working together and putting names to things, the title of that book resurfaced, bubbling with meaning. If you'd like to know why, you should read it yourself. But without giving it away: It is an allegorical story that asks big questions about work and time and modern life.
We haven't figured out the answers to any of those questions yet. But the asking of them guides us from one day to the next as we make these tiny little things and hang them on your ear to wear.
