{"product_id":"true-love-tomb-earrings","title":"True Love Tomb Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I’ve always been fascinated by The Lovers of Valdaro- a couple buried together in an\u003cbr\u003einterlocked embrace 6,000 years ago in Mantua, Italy. They were only approximately 20\u003cbr\u003eyears old when they died, but forever locked in a loving embrace. I thought the baroque\u003cbr\u003epearls would be a beautiful way to further highlight this romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think blue is an ever-present, aspirational and deeply calming presence in our lives.\u003cbr\u003eGiven the organic and irregular nature of the pearls, I initially wanted to use blues to\u003cbr\u003ecreate rockpool like forms on the pearls' surface. However, the pearl's luminous surface had a galactic nature that evoked a sense of destiny, thus I filled the rockpools with the\u003cbr\u003eLovers of Valdaro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text that runs across the pearls (seen from the back) is 'True Love': easy, simple, clear. I like that when the pearls are switched they can also read 'Love True', which can be interpreted as living true in your relationship, or to yourself.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Lucas Grogan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the blue sculpture pictured is \u003cem\u003eincluded\u003c\/em\u003e with the purchase of these earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis piece is part of our Tidal Wave exhibition and must remain in the gallery until August 31, 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucas Grogan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41530951106618,"sku":"LGTW001","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8753\/files\/LGTW001.jpg?v=1784195744","url":"https:\/\/www.piecesofeight.com.au\/products\/true-love-tomb-earrings","provider":"PIECES of EIGHT GALLERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
