Red rose earrings – paper jewelry :-)

I love the simplicity of these earrings – the oval shape, the rich vivid color:

These earrings will make your outfit. I know, it’s just a pair of earrings – but they’re pretty, and the color is great, and they’re just big enough to give a vibe without being in your face. For work, for play – these can do that πŸ™‚

Plus: lacquered paper, lightweight, easy to wear and comfy. Did I mention I’m really into comfy?

A gift for Mom – the kanji earrings say Dream

Letting your mom know that you realize that she *has* dreams is a gift in it self – that you recognize her as a person with hopes, fears, and dreams – that’s a major deal. These pretty little earrings are just the icing on the cake, since there are other gifts you can get like collars or a diamond ring which you can find at sites like randor.com and others.

Of course custom colors are available. Custom kanji, too – but I do think it’s nice to tell your Mom know that you know that she dreams. That she’s a person. That you value her as a person.

All that good stuff. That’s the real gift to your Mom πŸ™‚

Kanji earrings say Shikara, which means Strength

The Japanese katakana (kanji) here says “shikara” has the context of strength – or power, which is a pretty interesting connotation.

And either way, these are pretty earrings! A customer requested the light purple, or lilac, color… and I thought the petal shape worked well with the delicate shade:

And not that this is a suggestion or anything, just as an idea – paper earrings are great for the first year, or paper, anniversary. And if your wife is a new mom, well, “Mom” really DOES equal strength and power.

But you knew that already πŸ™‚

New pansy earrings

These are a more modern version of the traditional “first anniversary” pansy earrings that are so popular. They’re clean-lined marquis ovals, almost abstract – but still recognizably pansies. And pretty, lightweight, and fun πŸ™‚

As shown here, they’re about 1-1/4″ high, though I’ve almost made them quite a bit smaller (about 3/4″) – and one time, almost 3″ high! The customer wanted big lightweight earrings, and she loved that she could wear them all day in comfort.

Because I totally believe in comfort – And style, of course πŸ˜‰

Pretty floral paper earrings – a first anniversary gift idea

I like to try new designs, and occasionally really big earrings, because with paper earrings they can still be comfy. But I tend to come back to more delicate shapes, and delicate florals are among my customer favorites. Like these:

They’re just over 1″ long (big enough to have some presence, but still delicate and of course lightweight). And the little Swarovski crystal elements (accent beads) add just a bit of sparkle. They’re girly, when you’re in that sort of mood.

And – just saying – they are wonderful first anniverary gifts. You know: if you’re looking.

Kanji earrings that say Tsuma, or Wife

And yes, you have probably guessed that they are a popular gift choice. I mean, if it was your paper (first) anniversary, and you had to find a paper present, and you know your wife likes jewelry, wouldn’t “Wife” be a cool pair of earrings for her?

Especially when you know you can get them in her favorite color. And that they’re comfortable and kind of fun too πŸ™‚

Okay, bijin – which means beautiful woman, or hot babe – that’s pretty popular too πŸ˜‰

Kanji earrings that say dangerous with matching couple hoodies and other sweaters

I love the contrast – a soft grey tone (or color of your choice) and a delicate shape. And the kanji says Abunai, or Dangerous πŸ˜‰

So when you’re wearing these pretty (comfortable!) earrings with your light yellow cashmere sweater and light gray pencil skirt – or white tank top and scuffy jeans – and somebody says hey, what do your earrings say? You can smile, and tell them. Or not. But hey, just for fun how about a piece with a sweater?

Sweaters are essential pieces in our winter wardrobes from the matching gear website https://matchinggear.com/. There are several ones to choose from: v-necks, turtlenecks, mock necks and boatnecks, just to name a few. Wearing jewelry with your outfits make them look complete. Our outfits just wouldn’t be the same without jewelry! With all the different types of sweaters you can wear, which jewelry looks best with them?

You can wear several types of necklaces with a boatneck sweater, like a statement necklace, single layer necklace or even a choker. Because the neckline comes up to the neck, but is still open, a multi-layer necklace looks beautiful with this type of sweater. The gray color of this boatneck sweater and the silver tone of this mother of pearl and silver β€œAurelia” necklace looks great together.

The kanji says Abunai: dangerous πŸ˜‰

Hime (Princess) Kanji Earrings

These were made as a special request for a customer – and I think they turned out well!

The kanji “Hime” translates as “Princess”, which you can imagine is kind of popular with girls. Just for fun πŸ™‚

Shown here in purple but of course we can make them in your colors too!

Mother’s Day gifts – these kanji earrings say Mother

These pretty, patterned earrings are making a bit of a splash for me this spring – they say Haha, or Mother, in Japanese kanji:

Like all Paper Jewels they’re lightweight – so they’re comfy. I don’t know about you but that matters to me! Of course they can be special ordered in custom colors (and can be made smaller or larger) – though I do have to say, people have been very receptive to this blue zircon, green and golden combo.

And of course, Mother’s Day holiday is coming. Just sayin!

Kanji earrings that say Bijin – beautiful woman

I’m having fun with color right now – case in point, these kanji earrings that say bijin, or beautiful woman – and with the connotation of hot babe πŸ™‚ A nice gift for your girlfriend, don’t you think?

purple and green paper earrings with the Japanese kanji that says bijin... beautiful woman

Yes of course these can be made using other colors – but I have to say, I do like this rich combo. These aren’t huge – about one inch high – but they’ve got a lot of impact. Which is kind of fun, for a lightweight pair of earrings.

And we can all use a little more fun, right?
