Earpieces for Nobuko
Nobuko asked me if she would be able to wear jewellery on her ears without them being pierced, or the jewellery piece falling off easily or straining her ears. In response, I designed a piece which hangs by the loop that fits perfectly around her ears.
One of the opals is a gift from her relative, which came off a ring she was given during her working holiday experience in Australia a few decades ago. She suggested Nobuko has her opal re-set for this piece when she heard that she fell in love with the Australian gem.
