No two pieces made this way are ever quite the same, and that starts right back at the wax. Mitsuro Hikime is an ancient Japanese technique where warm wax is stretched by hand, slowly and repeatedly, until it settles into fine lines and ridges of its own accord, the kind of detail that can't be carved or planned in advance. Because the wax behaves a little differently every time, each piece that comes from it is genuinely one of a kind. These earrings carry that same individual character.
For the shiny silver vein leaf stud earrings, that hand-stretched wax was shaped into two long, slender leaf forms, each tapering to a fine point at both ends. Once the wax forms were right, they were cast in sterling silver and finished in soft white silver, with polished highlights along the edges where the light catches.
They're wonderfully light to wear, with all the texture and character of the collection in a small, everyday piece.
Details:
Style: Two slender, tapering leaf shapes, with vein textured surface
Inspiration: The fine, pointed form of a leaf
Technique: Mitsuro Hikime, hand-formed in wax, then cast
Materials: Solid sterling silver, soft white finish with polished highlights
Length: 22mm
Fastening: Stud
Handmade: In the UK studio, one off pair, never repeated
As this is a one-of-a-kind pair, once they're gone, they're gone. If you'd like a similar leaf design made to different measurements, get in touch to discuss a bespoke commission.
A lovely gift for someone who loves nature, individuality, and jewellery with real story behind it.
