Boucles d'oreilles rondes - Vert foncé -

These earrings are handcrafted by tying Mizuhiki cords into circular forms, layering them to create a delicate, flower-inspired shape.
In Japan, circular Mizuhiki knots symbolize connection, harmony, and enduring bonds, and each piece is made with these meanings in mind.

The Mizuhiki used in this design is a traditional Japanese material made in Kyoto, a city renowned for its refined craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Historically used to express celebration, gratitude, and heartfelt connections, Mizuhiki is reimagined here as a contemporary accessory that blends tradition with modern elegance.

Lightweight and softly dimensional, the earrings move gently with you, adding a subtle yet graceful accent suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

A timeless accessory that brings the spirit of Kyoto craftsmanship and Japanese tradition to your everyday style.

MIZUHIKI MOTOYUI GENDA

MIZUHIKI / JAPANESE DECORATIVE KNOTS

About 1,400 years ago / 600s / Asuka Period (592–710)

Mizuhiki is traditionally linked to ceremonial cords attached to gifts brought back by Japanese envoys from China. From court gift etiquette it spread through warrior and merchant society, evolving into thin paper cords whose colors and knots communicate whether an occasion is a wedding, birth, memorial or other event.

In Japan, mizuhiki works like a visual language for gifts. A knot that should not be repeated is used for marriage, while an easily retied bow suits celebrations that may happily happen again. The knot itself conveys meaning before the package is opened.

Mizuhiki began as part of wrapping, yet the knot eventually became the main object. Paper cords can be transformed into cranes, turtles, pine branches and other three-dimensional forms, and today the technique appears in jewelry and art. A culture of packaging has effectively evolved into sculpture.

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur.
