Angelic Blessing

Elegant Earrings with Angelic Motif

2020-2021 became significant years for all of us to validate the power of love, hope, and prayer due to the worldwide pandemic. These earrings were designed as a piece of talisman jewelry for their owner and its observers by using the angel wing motif which is a loved protector and guardian in the world.

Introducing the Angelic Blessing earrings, a stunning creation by renowned designer Chiaki Miyauchi. These earrings convey an image of the angelic power of blessing felt in the world. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, they are a symbol of hope, protection, and divine energy.

The Angelic Blessing earrings feature a unique design that sets them apart from other jewelry pieces. The angel wings, a beloved symbol of protection and guidance, are depicted using the traditional Japanese lacquer technique called Maki-e. This intricate process involves attaching gold, silver, and other colored powders to create stunning designs. The angel wings on the South Sea pearl catches are meticulously crafted using this ancient art form, adding a touch of elegance and mystique to the earrings.

Adding to the allure of the Angelic Blessing earrings are the 18K yellow gold wavy hoops. These hoops are handcrafted with a Florentine Finish, a traditional Italian engraving technique that creates a textured and shimmering surface. The combination of the wavy hoops and the angel wings on the pearls represents the magical and ethereal energy of angels.

Chiaki Miyauchi ensures that every aspect of the Angelic Blessing earrings is created with the utmost care and responsibility. The 18K yellow gold used in the hoops is sourced from Valcambi Swiss Gold Products, known for their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. The pearls used in the design are sourced from the South Sea, renowned for their lustrous beauty.

These earrings can be worn in two different ways, allowing for versatility and personal style. They can be worn with the wavy hoops at the top, with the pearl catches behind the ears, or with the wavy hoops at the back, with the pearl catches on top of the ears. This unique feature adds to the individuality and charm of the design.

The creation of the Angelic Blessing earrings was not without its challenges. The different hardnesses of the Maki-e, pearls, and 18K gold required careful consideration and a special coating to ensure the longevity of the design. The location of the Maki-e application was also crucial, as it allows for potential remodeling or resizing without damaging the delicate Maki-e and its coating.

The Angelic Blessing earrings have been recognized for their exceptional design and craftsmanship. They were awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2022. This prestigious award honors designs that demonstrate creativity, technical skill, and a commitment to improving the quality of life.

Experience the angelic power of blessing with the Angelic Blessing earrings. With their exquisite design, meticulous craftsmanship, and symbolic meaning, they are a true testament to the beauty and power of art, design, and innovation.
