“Gardenia taitensis, also called Tahitian gardenia or tiaré flower (…) Native to the highland shores of the South Pacific, it has the distinction of being one of the few cultivated plants native to Polynesia. It is the national flower of French Polynesia and the Cook Islands. The flower is used to make Monoi Tiare Tahiti, a perfume-oil made by infusing the blossoms in coconut oil.” - Wikipedia These very light weight asymmetrical statement earrings are composed of hand dyed floral shaped lace, raw brass components and mother of pearl shell beads.
