Notes on Natural Materials

Hand-woven bamboo is inherently non-standardized; each piece comes with slight variations in pattern and texture. These natural differences reflect the authenticity of the craft.

Bamboo, as a natural fiber, develops a gentle patina over time. With frequent wear, it becomes smoother and subtly brighter, forming a unique character for each wearer.

Cultural Background: Intangible Heritage of Bamboo Weaving

Bamboo weaving is one of China’s oldest crafts, with origins tracing back 6,000–7,000 years. From utilitarian baskets in ancient daily life to intricate decorative pieces during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the technique evolved into a highly sophisticated art form. In 2008, bamboo weaving was officially designated as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.

The essence of the craft lies in “weaving.” From selecting and splitting bamboo to shaving, polishing, and dyeing, every step requires precision. Master artisans can weave with strands finer than hair, creating seamless textures and intricate patterns through interlaced techniques.

Rooted in nature, bamboo weaving embodies sustainability, durability, and artistic depth. These earrings carry that heritage forward—transforming an ancient technique into wearable contemporary art.
