Sanchez Cotan Spanish Still Life Lemon Wood Earrings

These lightweight wood art earrings feature a vibrant, detailed print of the iconic lemons from Bodegón de caza, hortalizas y frutas (Still Life with Game, Vegetables and Fruit), a 1602 Baroque masterpiece by the Spanish master Juan Sánchez Cotán. Professionally handmade on sustainable wood with stainless steel gold-coloured hooks, this unique statement jewellery transforms early 17th-century tenebrism into a cheerful, wearable conversation piece.

Housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, the original painting is celebrated for its intense, mysterious lighting and mathematical geometry, where hanging fruits and birds emerge dramatically from a dark, stone window frame. Measuring approximately 3.5cm x 4cm x 2mm, these rectangular accessories bring a touch of warm, historical elegance to your everyday style. They serve as an exceptional art history gift, a thoughtful token for a museum educator, or an uncommon birthday present for fine art collectors, historians, and those who adore a classic dark academia or Spanish art aesthetic.

In my personal studio in Granada, Spain, I handle every step of the creation process, far removed from the ethos of mass production. Because I craft each piece entirely by hand using sustainable FSC-certified wood and a professional protective varnish, no two pairs are ever exactly identical. Small variations in the wood grain are an organic feature of my manual workmanship, emphasizing the authentic identity and rare, artistic nature of your jewellery.

I am deeply committed to responsible production and the preservation of the planet. By choosing my sustainable wood jewellery, you actively support conscious commerce and environmental respect with plastic-free packaging. While the wood is processed for durability and can withstand standard atmospheric humidity or a few light drops of rain, it is best to avoid direct contact with water during showers, swimming, or baths. To preserve the lasting brilliance of the golden hooks, simply store them in a dry container after use. The earrings arrive enclosed in an elegant design envelope created exclusively by myself, making them a refined gift ready for any special occasion.
