The Gold Ore Studs are a beautiful study in controlled imperfection. Hand-crafted in Reiko Yamamoto’s Pittsburgh, PA studio, these porcelain earrings are designed to look like raw, precious fragments unearthed from the ground. Each pair is hand-shaped, ensuring that no two "nuggets" are exactly alike.The studs feature a sophisticated matte white porcelain base, partially dipped or "painted" in a rich, 22k gold luster. This creates a stunning contrast between the clean, organic texture of the clay and the liquid-like brilliance of the gold. They are the perfect size for everyday wear—small enough to be subtle, yet bright enough to catch the light with every movement.
