Akai Keshi Silver Drop Earrings

£55


An absolutely one-of-a-kind set of precious jewellery, created by the Nozomi Project, Japan.

‘Nozomi’ means 'hope' in Japanese. Founded in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the Nozomi Project is a social enterprise based in Ishinomaki which employs and trains local people in the craft of jewellery making.

Each piece embraces the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi: there is beauty to be found in the broken. Pottery smashed in the earthquake is given a new lease of life, transformed by the artisans into stunning and unique pieces of jewellery.

‘Akai keshi’ means ‘red poppy’ in Japanese. The flower is a symbol of fun and passion in Japanese culture.

The charms on these earrings are crafted from poppy patterned china which is 999 fine silver-plated, the chains are sterling silver, the hooks are sterling-silver filled. Go with everything from an everyday t-shirt to your favourite evening dress.
