DAHLET QORROT EARRINGS
DAHLET QORROT EARRINGS
“Oh, it were better to be a poor fisherman than to meddle with the government of men.” - Georges Danton
Nestled in seclusion, the small inlet of Daħlet Qorrot between the northern cliffs of Gozo conceals aquamarine shallows, jewels glimpsed only by some. The cove is used by fishermen who have turned the natural caves at the base of the cliffs into boat houses, pastel homes lining the water – their facades hinting at a fishing village frozen in simpler times. Here, life proceeds unrushed, following nature's gentle rhythms as it has for centuries untold.

CARE TIPS
CARE TIPS
Avoid contact with water and chemicals (hairspray, perfume, sunscreen etc), which can cause brass jewellery to oxidize and damage to the embroidery. Brass likes your body’s natural oils, and wearing and touching your earrings will help prevent tarnish, so don’t just keep them for special occasions – wear and enjoy them as much as you can!
