Product Information
Inspired by the Mirabal sisters, known as “Las Mariposas” (The Butterflies), symbols of courage and freedom against oppression, these earrings made by Gaia Pulliero (an Italian painter) celebrate transformation, resilience, and the beauty of becoming.
Each pair is handmade with care: two delicate chrysalises in metamorphosis, ready to take flight—proud, free, and luminous.
Lightweight, original, and rich with meaning—perfect for those who want to wear not just jewelry, but a story of strength and freedom.
Materials: Metallic acrylic and real gold leaf on homemade cold porcelain (a blend of vinyl glue, cornstarch, baking soda, and sunflower oil).

Quality
At the heart of this collection lies a commitment to artistry, emotion, and timeless craftsmanship. Each piece—handmade by Italian painter Gaia Pulliero—is not simply a decorative item, but a one-of-a-kind expression of her imaginative world, brought to life through vibrant colours, organic forms, and careful handwork.
Crafted entirely by hand, every earring and object is unique, shaped by hours of detailed attention and creative intention. No shortcuts—just the pure expression of a person at work. You’ll notice slight variations in form, texture, or tone; these are not flaws, but signatures of authenticity—the mark of a human hand shaping beauty in real time.
Inspired by the swirling, saturated aesthetics of her paintings, Gaia’s designs evoke a sense of movement and transformation. Many pieces feature subtle metallic touches—gold or silver—that react to changing light, making each object feel alive in its surroundings.

FAQ
What makes Gaia Pulliero’s handmade items special?
Each piece is a unique, home-made creation by Italian painter Gaia Pulliero. Her earrings and design objects are crafted with the same care, colours, and emotions found in her original paintings. Handmade from start to finish, these pieces offer unmatched originality, artistic depth, and lasting quality.
Are the materials sustainable and safe?
Yes. Gaia uses responsibly sourced, non-toxic materials to ensure that each item is not only beautiful, but also safe for everyday use. Every component—from metals to finishes—is chosen with care for both the wearer and the environment.
Why is each piece unique?
Because every object is individually handmade, no two are ever exactly alike. Slight variations in form, texture, or color are a reflection of the artistic process and are what make your piece truly one of a kind. These subtle differences are a sign of genuine craftsmanship.
Are there any special design features?
Yes. Many of Gaia’s pieces include metallic accents (such as gold or silver) that subtly shift with the light, creating a dynamic, ever-changing visual effect. This design element is intentional, inspired by her desire to reflect the ever-evolving nature of thought and emotion.
How should I care for my handmade item?
To preserve its beauty, store your piece away from moisture and direct sunlight when not in use. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, direct spray of perfumes or abrasive surfaces, as these may damage delicate finishes or metallic details.
Can I request a custom piece?
Custom requests may be available depending on the project and materials. If you’re interested in a personalized design or a variation of an existing piece, feel free to contact us directly—Gaia occasionally accepts commissions for one-of-a-kind creations.
Where are these pieces made?
Every item is handmade in Italy or Ireland by Gaia Pulliero in her personal studio.
