Limited edition, handmade by Annabelle, oval freshwater pearls and Sicilian ceramic cactus and sicilian face (woman or man) with an 18k gold plated T clasp. This necklace measures 80cm in length. PRE ORDERS can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered.

These gorgeous ceramics are handmade by a family business from Cantania in Sicily which the young sons have started taken over with lots of fresh, fun ideas. When I went to visit them the whole family was there, their son´s dog, their cousins and papá. Their mum ran out to get gelato for everyone, it reminded me of my similarly sweaty India days when I would drink 10 Chai Teas a day visiting craftsmen and suppliers. I love how welcome they made me feel.

My Sicilian dream purchase (apart from an apartment by the sea) is a pair of Siclian head pots. The Sicilian Heads, or in Italian Teste di Moro (Moor’s Heads), are iconic ceramic vases born from an 11th-century legend of passion, betrayal and revenge during Arab rule in Palermo. The story goes that a young Sicilian girl fell in love with an Arab who she then decapitated after discovering he had a family back East. She used his head as a pot to grow basil so that he would never leave her.
