Red Oragami Crane Long Dangle Earrings

These long dangle earrings are genuine origami jewellery, with each crane hand-folded from red Japanese washi paper. The paper is rich and vivid, with gold detailing across the folds and flashes of black, pink, orange and green appearing differently on each crane as the pattern wraps around the body, wings and tail.

Suspended from a fine 4.5cm chain, the cranes hang low and move freely when worn, giving the design a light, graceful sense of movement. A very thin layer of resin protects the paper while keeping its crisp folded form visible, finished with 18K gold-plated brass hooks, chains and fittings. Their colour and movement make them an especially expressive take on origami crane earrings.

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.
