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.
The Story Behind the Jewellery
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.
