GoldenHearted Stud Earrings – A Timeless Blend of Silver & Gold
Elegant and full of craftsmanship, these Keum Boo heart stud earrings combine fine silver and 24k gold in a striking yet delicate design. Using an ancient Korean gilding technique, each heart is carefully handcrafted to create a stunning half-gold, half-silver effect, symbolising balance, unity, and love.
The Story Behind the Jewellery
From the moment I first learned the Keum Boo technique, I was captivated by the magic of laying gold leaf onto fine silver. I had a clear vision of how these earrings should look—a perfect blend of warmth and brightness, paired with a matching necklace to complete the set.
Each heart is hand-cut and shaped using a doming block to create a gentle curve. The Keum Boo process begins with reticulating sterling silver, repeatedly heating and cooling it until fine silver rises to the surface. Then, 24k gold leaf is carefully applied and burnished with an agate burnisher, fusing the gold to the silver in a permanent bond. The result is a stunning contrast between gold and silver, highlighting the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
