Care
The fine resin layers seal and protect the paper from everyday weather. To care for the finish and metal components, remove your earrings before swimming or showering, and avoid perfume, lotions and cleaning products. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store separately. Do not use silver dip.

Origami jewellery
Carry a little courage.
In Japanese culture, koi symbolise strength and perseverance. In Tibetan Buddhism, the related symbol of paired golden fish evokes freedom, happiness and fearlessness.
Folded by hand from patterned washi paper, our origami koi bring these ideas into a little reminder to keep going and welcome new beginnings. Each pair has its own arrangement of colour and detail — meaningful jewellery to wear your own way, or give to someone starting a new chapter.
Real Origami Jewellery
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.
