I have memories of my home-town in Japan: in winter the smell of charcoal burning in our old stove, the bite of crisp air as the snow fell. In spring I’d look down to see the moss emerging from between the pave-stones, and look up to see branches of cherry-blossoms framing lacey clouds in a pale blue sky. These were the colors of everyday-life in my home-town. Now, so many years later, I wish I could hold those colors in my hand.
In this collection: “Colors Remembered”, I’ve tried to capture the subtle hues I miss so much. I’ve layered Washi-paper to create the colors of moss, cherry blossoms, sky, snow, and charcoal. Placed inside each earring is a pearl that reflects the colors around it.
This is a playful collection, yet the subtle colors and textures impart a sophisticated look. They are sold singly by the earring. You can mix and match shapes, colors, and lengths, so have fun creating whatever playful look you want.
