Gold foil is applied with heat and pressure to produce a permanent bond with the sterling silver. This Korean gilding technique is called Keum-boo and has been used to produce these stunning earrings. Each earring is one of a kind and no two will look exactly the same. The surface has been textured, the edges smoothed and the earrings polished for a shiny finish.
It is recommended to wash silver by hand in warm water with a mild detergent. If the earrings are not worn it is advisable to store them airtight and completely dry for the silver not to tarnish.
