Ancient technique. Timeless result.
Mother-of-pearl inlay is one of the oldest and most revered techniques in Chinese lacquerware — a craft so intricate it has been recognised as part of China's intangible cultural heritage. In these retro-style stud earrings, each sliver of shell is set by hand into layers of lacquer on copper, creating an iridescent shimmer that shifts with the light and never looks the same twice.
Small in form. Immense in craft.
Heritage you can wear. Beauty that lasts.

✦ Why LacLume
Each LacLume piece is made in small batches by skilled artisans. No mass production. No duplicates. When a design sells out, it's gone — because real craft can't be rushed.
✦ Slight variations in pattern and color are a natural mark of handcraft — and what makes yours truly yours.
