Square Earrings - Natural Silk
These lustrous earrings are made with wild silk and woven with the ancient hanaori technique from Amami Oshima. Wild silk cocoons are separated, spun into two different shades, and woven together to create the pattern you see here. These featherweight earrings reflect the light beautifully and make an eye-catching choice for a formal occasion, as well as for everyday wear.
Finished with ceramic harware suitable for those with metal allergies.
