Kosa Pakku Sterling Silver Akoya Pearl Earrings

To know “myself” by feeling “different”

Collaborative earrings with Kasuko Nishibayashi, a contemporary jewelry artist active in Germany.

It may be a hassle, but let's get involved with people a little more.

The semi baroque blue-gray pearls from Uwajima are all different and unique.

Because the world is full of colorful people,

by crossing, we can feel to know “myself” by feeling “different”

This collection was created by providing pearls from Doi Pearl Farm in Uwajima, Ehime prefecture in Japan.

Pakku

Very simple lines, a fun shape that highlights the beauty of pearls.

Enjoy the texture of metal

The faint matting on the surface intersects slightly.

It is the handiwork of the artisan.

Using CNC computer cutting technology, it is made from a silver plate and is beautifully finished without distortion.

The sides are thick and the back is shiny and polished.

When the pearl comes above the ear, the slight height of the pearl lifts the earring, giving the entire earring a three-dimensional appearance.

It looks different when the pearls are placed below the earlobes.

Semi Baroque, blue-gray pearls from Uwajima

Akoya pearls cultivated in the sea of Uwajima, Doi Pearl's farm.

All of those pearls may not be perfect spheres.

However, the blue-gray color and shine are really beautiful.

For mass production, pearls that are not in circulation because they are not perfect spheres.

To be completed the ring, it is necessary to adjust the ring according to the different shape of each pearl.

Even a little deformation is shine enough.

Note that each pearl is slightly different in shape.
