For this earring, I carefully selected and found a pearl suitable for pairing with the remaining pearl, and made it into a pearl earring again.

A customer who had previously purchased a pair of earrings from Flower Jem lost one of them.

It is a very unfortunate thing, but perhaps this is an accident that occasionally happens with earrings.

The customer sent me the remaining earring, and I immediately found a matching pearl and made it into an earring.

If you look closely, the colors are slightly different, but the levels of luster are very similar.

If you also have a pearl earring with only one side remaining, please feel free to contact me.

This time, just before shipping, I thought of photographing these earrings that I had paired again, so I took some photos.

Since I photographed them on my computer desk, the pearls appear dark in the photos, as expected.

Also, as a thank-you for this order, I placed the earrings in a handmade pouch that my mother made by remaking one of her own kimonos, and shipped them.

Only recently have I finally begun to see how lovely it is to place Akoya pearls in kimono pouches.

That is because both can be considered part of traditional Japanese culture.

Well then, let’s enjoy pearls while being as careful as possible not to lose our earrings.

When I visited my parents’ home the other day, I was able to bring back many kimono pouches that my mother had made.
