These earrings were made using vintage Japanese silk kimono fabric in muted olive, beige and antique gold tones, delicately patterned with bamboo branch and leaf motifs in earthy greens and browns.
The fabric was folded by hand to create origami kite-shaped diamond focal pieces. Small black glass bicone beads have been added for contrast, with gold-coloured findings used to complement the warm tones of the fabric. Hypoallergenic shepherd hooks for pierced ears.
To preserve the shape and structure of the origami form, it is reinforced with small dots of craft adhesive.
Overall drop length is 5cm. Avoid getting wet.
