Raffia kiwi earrings
The kiwi leaves the fruit bowl and gets noticed.
- Natural raffia, hand-dyed the artisanal way. It is the strands of natural raffia that snap easily as they are worked, which makes the crochet slow and precise - but once crocheted, woven or sewn, the piece becomes very strong and long-lasting, and barely sensitive to water. Each fruit is also stuffed with its own raffia offcuts, never synthetic foam. Crochet is one of the only techniques in the world that no machine can replicate - these jewels could not be made any other way. Set on gold-tone stainless steel hoops, 8 mm to 1 cm.
- The shift of greens crocheted thread by thread, then the ring of seeds embroidered over it - true small handwork.
- Crocheted then assembled into jewellery, piece by piece, by hand.
- An ultra-light jewel that makes itself felt - right there on the ear, yet no weight at all even after several hours.
- A handful of pairs, crocheted by hand; the green never falls the same twice.
Description
Kiwi raffia earrings with a fruity motif that livens up a white shirt or a colourful dress. The fruit's pattern gives the raffia a graphic rhythm, right down to the details. Wear your hair up to show the motif, and pair with a plain outfit to give it room to shine.
The story
An eye for detail
From the outside, a kiwi keeps a low profile. Cut it open and it reveals a pattern almost too neatly arranged to be natural. YZA kept the pattern and moved it to your ears: it deserved to be seen.
An ultra-light jewel that makes itself felt - right there on the ear, yet no weight at all even after several hours.
Crocheted then assembled into jewellery, piece by piece, by hand.
Raffia needs no special care. Avoid water; if it gets wet, dry in open air away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure to preserve the colours. The gold-tone hoops are stainless steel.
Packaging : Gift-ready: the piece comes in a pretty black box signed YZA, and the first name of the artisan who made it is written on the hand tag.
