To this day the legacy of the Egyptian Cleopatra survives in numerous works of art. She is put forward as a great beauty and her great diplomacy and successive conquests of the world’s most powerful men are taken to be proof of her aesthetic and wide appeal.
In this series of earrings, Cleopatra’s mirror, this idea of beauty and aesthetics are linked into a contemporary design.
