  • Description
  • Her Story

You are the protector. These earrings carry the fierce lion—guardian of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and symbol of Artemisia of Caria's sovereign power.

Hand-sculpted with ancient strength, these become your talismans for fearless protection. Wear them to defend your boundaries, stand in your power, and embody the lioness who protects her own.

  • Materials: 18k gold plating over brass
  • Craftsmanship: Handmade through the lost-wax casting process

The lioness bows to no one. Neither do you

Introducing the Midnight in the Garden of Ruins Collection, inspired by the strategic brilliance of Artemisia of Caria.

Artemisia, one of the only female regents of her era, defied expectations by taking command of Caria after her husband's death. When neighbouring islands believed her rule made Caria vulnerable, Artemisia used her wisdom and tactical foresight to outmanoeuvre their invasion plans. She led her navy with precision, protecting her kingdom and proving her strength as a leader.

Beyond her military prowess, Artemisia commissioned the grand Mausoleum of Halicarnassus—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—a tribute to her husband and symbol of her enduring vision. Today, among the ruins of this wonder, flowers bloom, reminding us that even in adversity, life and legacy thrive.

This collection honours Artemisia's legacy, celebrating the power within every woman to overcome challenges and create lasting impact. Each piece serves as a symbol of resilience and empowerment—your actions today, no matter the obstacles, are laying the foundation for your future legacy.

Let the Midnight in the Garden of Ruins Collection inspire you to embrace your wisdom and strength, knowing that everything you do now contributes to the legacy that will blossom in the future.
