"First" antler hoop earrings

Rich ivory that is unique to an animal of the forest. Only one out of a hundred antlers have the thick and beautiful straight patterns without the stains. The left and right earring are cut side by side from the same deer antler and the pattern and shaped are matched together after removing the center marrow. 

The original K18 hook has a dynamic curve that resembles a leaping deer. Each K18 wire is hand-bent by a craftsman to fit the curves of each deer antler.

Currently, over 120,000 Ezo deer are captured each year across Hokkaido. This is a product created in collaboration with NPO Hokkaido Natural Resource Usage Organization whose purpose is to achieve co-existence with wild animals through a “deer-first” approach.

*Each pair of these earrings has a different shape and size. When you place your order, we will let you know what pairs we have available, so you can choose the pair you want.
*Because the antlers have not been bleached, slight color unevenness can be seen in the white parts of the antlers. This is the natural look that is unique to antlers.
