One-of-a-kind 22k yellow gold earring featuring 10 x 12 mm Maki-e pearls, Brazilian pink tourmaline (2.43ct) and Canadian diamonds (.12ct). 18k yellow gold ear wires. A texture has been applied to the gold to give it a soft, parchment like feel. Made from recycled gold, responsibly sourced gems and Tahitian pearls.

Maki-e is a traditional Japanese paint technique developed over a millennia ago where lacquer is applied to surfaces and pure gold or silver paint is mixed in for flat or raised ornamentation. Mosaics are created from tiny abalone tiles often accented with the same gold or silver paint.
