The designs in the collection are inspired by ribbons as the name suggests. Tie the knot, untie the gift, celebrate, commemorate - ribbons have so many meanings for us and accompany so many of the special occasions in our lives.
All the earrings in the collection can be accessorised with pendants, so you can move seamlessly from demure to ultra glamorous in a heartbeat.
WHY PINK? ..."For me personally, satin ribbons evoke memories of my ballet training which was my life and a passion which started at the age of 4 in Africa, and continued until I was 19 and ecstatic owner of a coveted place at the Central School of Ballet in London" - Joanna
DISCOVER MORE ABOUT JOANNA - Founder & Creative Director
Innovation, daring, exceptional standards of artistry, creativity, drama and stagecraft. Ballet is an artform, and part of the artistry is to give the illusion of effortlessness.
To achieve this illusion, ballet dancers train on a scale & intensity comparable to Olymic athletes. Research comparing ballet dancers against professional athletes involving fitness testing for strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and psychological state, amongst others, found that of the ten most important measures of fitness employed, ballet dancers had stronger scores in seven of them when taking into account body size.
To many, the image of ballet is a pink tutu and effortless twirling. They don't see the hours of rehearsal that go into a performance, the sweat, blisters & bruises, the passion, dedication & strength of character required.
"Ballerinas are for me a visual representation of the subtext of Steel Magnolias - a beautiful 1980's film which taps into fundamental truths about the strength of women & their grace under pressure" - Joanna
Courage is grace under pressure
