Embrace the beauty and meaning of Japanese tradition with these Ume Mizuhiki earrings, crafted with both Ume (plum blossom) and Tama (round) knots. In Japanese culture, the Ume (plum blossom) symbolises resilience, good fortune, and enduring beauty, as it blooms even in the cold winter months. The Tama knot, often seen as a symbol of harmony, adds a beautiful balance to these earrings, creating a piece of jewellery filled with positive meaning.
Each earring is made from washi paper using traditional Mizuhiki techniques, making them lightweight and comfortable to wear. These earrings make a perfect gift for someone special or a symbolic addition to your own collection.
