Keum-boo is an ancient Korean technique — 23.5 karat gold fused directly onto fine silver at the molecular level, no solder, no setting. The gold appears to have been painted across the surface in organic, fluid forms, then the silver is oxidized to a deep charcoal that makes the gold read as luminous rather than simply bright. Every pair comes out differently. The pattern follows the material, not a template.
These drop 2.5 inches and move. Suspended from sterling silver hooks, the elongated form catches light as it shifts — gold drifting over dark ground, the way sunlight reads across water or stone.
