* All of my origami jewelry is made from high-quality Japanese Washi paper. |

Mujizome Washi |
Washi is traditional Japanese paper. Washi is amazingly durable since the paper fibers are left long and randomly positioned. |

* Each piece is coated for durability and water resistance, yet still maintains the warmth and flexibility of paper. Even though it is made of paper, you can still enjoy my origami jewelry on rainy days. When it is exposed to water for an extended time, it gets soft, but does not lose its shape. You just have to let it dry and wear it again.

* All of my origami jewelry comes in an origami-decorated box. |

The paper used for decoration may vary. |

* Origami earrings are very tiny and elegant. Even the larger designs are light and easy to wear. This picture shows how big/small my earrings are. |

* I hand-fold each item very carefully. No two are exactly the same, especially the ones with patterned paper since each shows a different part of the paper. Please enjoy the look, feel and uniqueness of each item.
