Inspired by close studies of Begonia maculata, these silver and gold earrings capture the distinctive spotted leaves of the plant. Traditional chasing and repoussé techniques bring form and subtle movement to each piece, while every spot is engraved using the Japanese hammer-and-chisel technique of katakiri before being inlaid with gold foil. The contrast of silver and gold evokes the effect of diamond-set jewels, lending each earring a delicate brilliance.
