“Twist” Red coral hook earring

A lively single earring that highlights the natural branching of red coral.
The deep red color, with a sense of transparency that is unique to marine creatures, is unique to Japanese red coral. It is a precious coral that is loved all over the world and is unlike any other gemstone.

The rhythmic earring hooks are original findings, handcrafted by artisans who twist and curve square wire made from 100% recycled and traceable alloy. It is made by a manufacturer of precious metals in Japan, whose factory oversees everything from refinement, quality analysis, material processing, and even detoxification treatment of the waste liquid as a result of recycling.

Red coral is a precious coral that lives in the deep sea, at depths of 75 to 300 meters, where no light reaches. It grows very slowly, with a growth rate in diameter estimated to be 0.21 to 0.36 mm per year. Red coral, which is endemic to Japan, grows in scattered habitats and is classified differently from the reef-building corals that create coral reefs.

Tosa offshore, Kochi Prefecture, is the main production area of red coral. When you visit Tosashimizu Port, you can see fishing boats carrying colorful coral fishing nets coming in and out of the port. We only use red coral with obvious traces that is landed off the coast of Tosa and has been through a log auction.
