Tiger King

A huge Baroque pearl hangin off a vintage chain for one ear, and a Tigers eye Figa fist with a small pearl for the other . The Figa “mano fico,” is a symbol going back centuries. It is a representation of a woman’s genitalia , it wards off the “evil eye” and bring protection to the wearer - An amulet as a good luck symbol

At root, a pearl is a 'disturbance' a beauty caused by something that isn't supposed to be there, about which something needs to be done. It is the interruption of equilibrium that creates beauty. Beauty is a response to provocation, to intrusion. ... The pearl's beauty is made as a result of insult.
