Daphne Earrings

THE DESIGN STORY

Named after Daphne — the nymph of Greek mythology who was transformed into a laurel tree — these earrings embody both movement and stillness, freedom and transformation. In the myth, Daphne, pursued by Apollo, called out to the gods for protection and was turned into a tree just as he reached her. From that moment, the laurel became sacred to Apollo — a symbol of honour, poetic beauty, and resilience.
 
 The Daphne Earrings echo this duality: organic curves suggest branches mid-motion, while sculptural form hints at strength beneath the surface. They feel light, yet grounded — an ode to the quiet power of choosing your own path.
 
 Wear them as a reminder that beauty can be both soft and steadfast, and that growth sometimes means standing still.

Our Ethos

Produced in a family run workshop of 7 workmen and women, our pieces are exclusively carved and crafted by hand in Athens, using Ancient Greek jewellery-making techniques and silversmithing.

As champions of slow production, we create only small quantities per design. If a piece is sold out you are welcome to place a pre-order, which has a three week turnaround period, for a piece to be made exclusively for you.

Unique designs that are not part of our core collection of YSSO Icons, will no longer be available once they sell out.
