Checkerboard Pattern Japanese Paper Hoop Earrings

Description

These earrings feature hand-folded origami kite-shaped diamond pieces created from Japanese Yuzen Washi paper.

The washi is patterned with black and white checkerboard squares with Kanji (writing script/ Japanese characters) and pink and white cherry blossom flowers. To create each paper piece, I measure and cut from a larger sheet of paper, and fold into the final interlocking model.

The earrings are finished with black glass micro bugle beads and silver-coloured findings, and hang from thin silver-plated over brass 20mm hoops.

The origami piece has been lightly lacquered, but avoid getting wet. Very lightweight. Overall drop length is 5cm
