The Wabi Sabi wooden earring collection celebrates an intuitive response to the way ink flows in it’s own beautiful way. Accepting and appreciating the imperfect, this collection represents letting go of perfection.

Traditional and contemporary marbling techniques have been used to create intricate patterns on the surface, complimenting the woods natural grain.  Marbled by hand, each individual earring piece is completely unique with no two sides the same. Celebrating the handmade, the occasional smudge or droplet of ink is present on the reverse side; upholding it’s Wabi Sabi nature!

Careful time and deliberate effort is then taken to make the intricate marbled patterns, which are then transferred to the pendants. Cleaning and sanding the sides reveals the natural grain of the wood, contrasting against the bright colourful hues of it’s surface. Each earring pendant is sealed with a protective layer to lock in the colour and protect them from the elements.
