The Celestial Collection captures the beauty of space, drawing inspiration from ancient astrological maps, mythological creatures and cosmic constellations. The collection utilises both hand and machine embroidery techniques, crafted with intricate detail, to translate these celestial wonders into wearable art.

The Apollo's Lyre is associated with the constellation 'Lyra'. In Greek mythology, the lyre was a small harp-like instrument that was a symbol of balance. We have beautifully crafted a depiction of Apollo's Lyre in traditional goldwork embroidery, with pearl bead detailing. The brooch is embroidered onto a black velvet base and is finished with a gold brooch pin.
