Flat Hoop ~ Ethical Earrings | Japanese silk threads

Production Process These flat hoop earrings differ from typical thin hoops, featuring a band-like surface that accentuates the material and texture. The subtle luster and intricate patterns of silk thread are highlighted, creating a soft, gentle feel that blends seamlessly with the skin. They add a touch of understated elegance, bringing a refined yet noticeable presence to your look. To make the most of the beautiful and lustrous quality of the silk thread, we carefully wrap a single silk thread around the metal base. The earring posts are made from surgical stainless steel, which is less likely to cause metal allergies. Sustainability All pieces are crafted from high-quality Japanese silk threads that are unexpectedly left over during the production of woven fabrics, such as those used for kimonos. We've learned that surplus silk thread is often discarded, so we sought a way to avoid wasting this precious material, spun from silkworm cocoons, down to the shortest lengths. Our pieces are designed for longevity, as the thread can be rewound and the base can be repaired as needed.
