Green Oragami Crane Long Dangle Earrings

These long dangle earrings are genuine origami jewellery, with each crane hand-folded from patterned Japanese washi paper. The green-led design shifts through deep green, warm gold, cream and muted red, with different sections of the pattern settling across the neck, wings and body of each folded crane.

Suspended from a fine 4.5cm chain, the cranes sit low and move freely when worn, allowing their changing colours and angular folds to catch the eye from different directions. A very thin layer of resin protects the paper while preserving its character, finished with 18K gold-plated brass hooks, chains and fittings.

Our origami jewellery begins with a sheet of washi: traditional Japanese paper made from natural plant fibres. Washi is traditionally made using fibres such as kozo (paper mulberry), mitsumata and gampi, valued for their strength and delicate texture. Traditional Japanese patterns and rich colours give our jewellery its intricate detail.

We fold every piece by hand, then apply multiple ultra-thin layers of crystal-clear resin to completely seal the paper and hold each fold in place. The fine layers add strength and weather resistance while preserving the elegant shape and lightness of the origami.

Paper, folded and preserved, becomes jewellery to treasure. Each piece is unique, with its own arrangement of pattern and colour across the folds.
