Our earrings feature black diamonds surrounding one-of-a-kind shakudo plaques. Developed by samurai sword-makers for the decoration of the sword-mounts and guards, the Japanese metalworking technique of shakudo involved creating an alloy of copper and gold, inlaid with a range of colored alloys set against a black base.
