Sakae is a Japanese artist that crafts unique kanzashi hairpins from resin and wire. But these stunning pins have a long history in Japan, dating back to the prehistoric Jmon era (1000 BCE).

Almost a year after my trip to Japan I made the decision to turn my fascination with the Country of Cherry Blossoms into the world of jewelry. Firstly I explore the world of Japanese symbols and art, I reached for old traditional woodcuts and themes that are repeating in Japanese crafts & art. Among my souvenirs brought from my trip to this country, I brought pieces of fabric that I used as elements of jewelry.

These yellow gold earrings with turquoise cloisonné enamel on both sides are decorated with birds and flowers, whose design clearly reflects the vogue for Japonisme. Following the reopening of trade with Japan in 1858, the influence of its art and culture made its way West, and into the works of jewelers such as Falize. #Jewelry #Earrings #VintageJewelry #Japonisme #Japan #ArtNouveau
