dried flower jewelry

Through an extremely delicate process, Peruvian silversmith Jose Luis Pariona creates these bright yellow dangle earrings inspired by the sun. Slender ribbons of silver frame natural dried hydrangea leaves, dyed bright yellow. The eye-catching droplets dangle from sterling hooks.

Wild beauty grows strong with every branch and flower of a mysterious tree, rendering this box unique. Expertly hand-carved from walnut wood by M. Ayub, this box is a testimony of carving traditions that have excelled throughout time. Lined with velvet, the box features an inner panel dividing the box. The box also features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side.

Following in his father's footsteps, M. Ayub sets out to craft furniture and decorative items of superior quality. He prefers to work with walnut wood due to its exceptional color and grain; it is also one of the strongest varieties of wood which makes it an excellent carving medium. Walnut trees grow mainly in Kashmir and take between two to three years to dry out completely. Ayub proudly states that he only hand-carves his products, uses no artificial colorings, and rubs the piece with an agate stone prior to applying a wax polish.
