Specifications & Craftsmanship Details

Designed in New York by Emilie Shapiro and a team of female artisans, these dainty earrings feature an oxidized finish. This intentional darkening beautifully enhances the visual contrast between the dark silver base and the luminous gold repairs.

How to Gift & Wear This Symbolic Jewelry

Presenting this gift is an emotional, deeply personal experience. The earrings arrive with a meaningful card explaining the profound symbolism behind kintsugi, making it an ideal present for milestones, emotional recovery, or sympathy support. Because of their deliberately petite and lightweight profile (measuring just 3/4″ in height), buyers note they are incredibly comfortable for subtle, everyday wear without weighing down the earlobes.

Care, Cleaning & Maintenance

To maintain the striking contrast of the intentionally oxidized silver and the gold joinery, follow these factual care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

• Preservation: Do not use liquid jewelry dips or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will strip away the intentional dark oxidization that makes the gold repair stand out.
