Small 5.5mm Silver Dot Studs in Shinbashiiro

These Small Silver Dot Studs are handmade in recycled Sterling silver and filled with eco-resin mixed to beautiful, Japanese-inspired colours.

The colour in this pair was mixed to match the colour Shinbashiiro, which means new bridge in Japanese. According to the Essence of Colour in Japanese Design by Rossella Menegazzo, the colour became fashionable in early twentieth century Japan. I love it for its name, as to me building bridges between nations is fundamental to peace.

The studs measure 5.5mm in diameter and come with Sterling silver scrolls.

The studs were originally inspired by a quotation from a book by Carl Sagan called 'Pale Blue Dot'. The book was named after an image of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 space probe from the edge of our Solar System. On board the space probe is a golden record with peace greetings to the Universe in 55 different languages, including whale song. Each little dot essentially conveys a message of peace across space and time.

The studs come in a little organza bag and will be carefully packaged to ensure that they are not damaged in transit.
