Elegant and full of movement, these Keum Boo Golden Cup Drop Earrings feature a stunning contrast of fine silver and 24k gold, creating a delicate yet eye-catching design. Their gently curved shape and soft golden glow make them a beautiful statement piece, perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions.
From the moment I made my first pair, I fell in love with this cup-style earring design. When I learned the Keum Boo technique, I was captivated by the way gold leaf fuses with fine silver, creating a piece that is both simple and striking.
Each tiny cup is hand-cut and shaped using a doming block, forming a smooth, curved bowl that reflects the light beautifully. The Keum Boo process involves reticulating sterling silver—heating and cooling it multiple times until fine silver rises to the surface—before carefully applying 24k gold leaf and burnishing it with an agate burnisher. This ancient Korean gilding technique creates a warm, golden interior, contrasting beautifully with the polished silver.
A perfect gift for lovers of elegant, handcrafted jewellery, these earrings symbolise balance, warmth, and timeless beauty. Their lightweight design and gentle movement make them both versatile and easy to wear, whether paired with the matching Keum Boo Cup of Gold Necklace or Stud Earrings for a coordinated look.
Your earrings will arrive beautifully presented in a white gift box, embossed with my signature gold flower logo and tied with ribbon. Inside you'll find a care card to help you keep your jewellery looking its best, a polishing cloth, and a thank you card- because every order is special. If you'd like to include a gift message, simply add it at checkout.
