Thread Leaf and Freshwater Pearl Earrings | Ñandutí Natural Embroidery Lace | Japanese Designer Handmade

Leaf motifs crafted from thread gently sway by your ears in these unique earrings. Like delicate lace, the leaves are light and airy, while freshwater pearls peek through the foliage, adding a touch of subtle charm with every movement. Pair them with soft colors like white or beige for a naturally serene look, or let them stand out as a captivating accent against darker hues like navy. Despite their full appearance, the thread construction makes them surprisingly lightweight, ensuring comfort without burdening your ears or shoulders. (Each earring weighs approximately 2g, equivalent to two 1-yen coins.) While the leaves are flat, a gentle curve can be added with your fingers, creating beautiful overlapping layers and enhancing their charm. 𓈒 𓏸 𓐍 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓈒𓈒 𓏸 𓐍 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓈒 The thread motifs are crafted using Ñandutí, a traditional embroidery technique from Paraguay in South America.

Ñandutí, in the indigenous Guaraní language, means "spiderweb." True to its name, it is a delicate craft created with thread. A base warp thread is set up, and another thread is woven or knotted into it to create patterns. The embroidery is starched and stiffened, and then separated from the fabric base to complete the Ñandutí piece. It feels quite firm to the touch, maintaining its shape with moderate stiffness while retaining the soft texture of the thread. As accessories, the characteristic lacy translucency of Ñandutí is exceptionally charming. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ★ These items are delicately crafted. Please be mindful of snagging or pulling. ★ Individual sensitivities to metal allergies vary. We cannot guarantee that all users will be free from allergic reactions. ★ Ñandutí is made by stiffening embroidery and removing it from the fabric base, making it susceptible to water damage. Please avoid getting them wet. If they do get wet, gently press them between towel layers to absorb moisture and then allow them to air dry. ★ We strive to ensure the photos accurately represent the actual colors, but slight variations may occur due to your device settings and lighting conditions during photography.
