Hand carved Sapele Mahogany Earrings

The earrings feature decorative carving applied with a scalpel. The structure of the shape is sturdy, yet simultaneously fragile, so it would not withstand work with more harsh tools. The scalpel is very sharp and allows for the addition of fine details with ease.

The length of the earrings is 9 cm, including the hook. They are very lightweight.

Finish & components

The earrings are finished and protected with varnish, which makes a durable, hard finish with satin gloss. They are equipped with 925 Sterling Silver hooks.

Wood species and facts about

Sapele Mahogany, native to tropical Africa, boasts a remarkable journey from the lush forests of West and Central Africa to becoming a coveted material in our craft. Sourced sustainably, each piece carries the essence of the continent's natural beauty. Mahogany holds cultural significance and symbolizes endurance, strength, and timeless beauty. Its deep, reddish-brown hues evoke warmth and sophistication, creating a connection between nature and artistry.

Veneer

Wood veneers are thin slices of natural wood, generally less than 0.6mm (1/40”) thick. This is still real wood but machinery and technology allow the material to be sliced thin, without waste instead of sawing it into thick boards. It is regarded as the most noble product of wood. You can sense the natural source in each and every veneer sheet.

Sustainability

Opting for veneers is our commitment to sustainability. By using thin slices, we make the most of precious wood resources, minimizing waste and environmental impact. We are also using the smallest cuttings for labels and packaging.

Every piece is crafted by our hands, with a little help from some electric tools. Every item is as unique as the individual parts of the wood log.
