Handcrafted Sterling Silver Statement Long Twist Leaf Earrings.
A one-of-a-kind pair of sterling silver stud earrings, inspired by nature and formed using Mitsuro Hikime, an ancient Japanese wax-shaping technique. Two long, gently twisting leaf forms, slightly asymmetric in drop.
Every line in this texture came from the wax itself, long before the silver was ever poured. Mitsuro Hikime is an ancient Japanese technique that depends entirely on patient hands, warming the wax and stretching it again and again until it settles into ridges and grooves that feel grown rather than made. The wax never stretches in quite the same way twice, so what's captured in the final piece can never be exactly repeated. This pair holds a pattern that exists nowhere else.
For the Long Twist Leaf Earrings, that same hand-stretched wax was shaped into two long, leaf-like forms that twist gently as they fall, wide and full near the top before narrowing into a fine, spiralling point. The twist means the texture catches the light differently all the way down, giving real movement to a piece that's otherwise simple in shape. Once the wax forms were right, they were cast in sterling silver and finished by hand to keep that texture and twist clearly visible.
These are statement earrings with genuine presence, the kind that's noticed across a room and admired up close. A lovely choice for anyone who wants something striking, nature-inspired, and entirely their own for an evening that calls for a little more drama.
Details:
Style: Long, twisting leaf forms, full at the top, tapering to a fine point
Inspiration: The twist of a leaf as it falls and turns
Technique: Mitsuro Hikime, hand-formed in wax, then cast
Materials: Solid sterling silver
Drop length: 10.6cm and 10cm
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 twisting 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.
