Raffia tomato earrings
The tomato has decided to go out tonight.
- 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.
- Red body and green calyx crocheted apart, then joined at the thread.
- 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 small hand-made batch, at the hook; no two tomatoes are round quite the same.

The story
A different idea of jewellery
Someone had saved it a place in the salad. The tomato had other ambitions. At YZA, it joins the jewellery collection and accompanies you out with plenty of confidence. Nobody asked it to behave.

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.
