Kyoto Long Earrings – The Golden Awakening
Handcrafted Excellence from France
The Kyoto Long Earrings are meticulously handmade in our workshop in Rennes, France. Each stage of their creation is carried out with patience and precision, using carefully selected, high-quality materials. This human-scale craftsmanship ensures a flawless, durable finish — a reflection of authentic French artistry. By wearing them, you carry a piece of locally imagined and crafted design, born from passion and expertise.
From Raw Material to Refined Beauty
From the careful selection of materials to the final polish, every step in the creation process is guided by a quest for harmony. The artisan enamels, sculpts, and assembles each component with delicate precision, bringing to life a pair of earrings that radiate individuality and balance. The result is a truly unique piece — a golden creation that tells a story of dedication and finesse, from the first touch to the last shimmer.
The Subtle Brilliance of Handcrafted Gold
The golden finish of the Kyoto earrings is a deliberate and thoughtful choice. Rather than a loud shine, it offers a discreet luminosity — a soft reflection of light that enhances the elegance of its wearer without excess. Each golden layer is applied by hand, with care and restraint, preserving a natural harmony between brilliance and subtlety. This mastery of light and texture gives the Kyoto Long Earrings their distinct, graceful presence.
The Awakening of Kyoto
At the heart of Rennes, the Ciléa Bijoux workshop hums with quiet creativity. It is here — where tradition meets innovation — that the Kyoto collection comes to life. The long Kyoto earrings emerge as symbols of elegance and refinement, inspired by the delicate beauty and serenity of Japanese culture. Each movement of the artisan’s hand breathes life into the metal, transforming it into a poetic expression of craftsmanship and emotion.
A Journey Through Japanese Inspiration
The inspiration behind the Kyoto Long Earrings traces back to an imagined journey through Japan — a place where simplicity and refinement coexist in perfect harmony. The design pays homage to the tranquil beauty of water lily leaves, capturing their fleeting poetry and airy grace. Each earring evokes the peaceful spirit of a Japanese garden, where every detail is placed with intention to inspire reflection and serenity.
The Symbolism of the Water Lily Leaf
In Japanese tradition, the water lily leaf — known as hasu no ha — holds deep meaning. Though less renowned than the lotus, it embodies purity, balance, and inner calm. Floating gently on the surface of still water, the leaf symbolizes tranquility and the harmonious link between humanity and nature. This quiet symbolism is infused into the Kyoto design, echoing the calm strength and meditative beauty of Japanese aesthetics.
Meticulous Craftsmanship, Modern Elegance
Every pair of Kyoto Long Earrings is the result of a dialogue between heritage and innovation. Our artisans combine historical techniques with a contemporary eye for detail, choosing delicate shades of gold and black to lend the piece a subtle Art Deco character. The result is an earring that bridges tradition and modernity — timeless yet daring, poetic yet precise.
An Ode to Grace and Serenity
The Kyoto Long Earrings are more than jewelry — they are a celebration of balance, light, and craftsmanship. Each pair captures the essence of refined femininity, inviting you to reconnect with the quiet poetry of the present moment. Like the floating water lily leaf that inspired them, they embody calm, beauty, and the art of gentle strength — a radiant reflection of both French craftsmanship and Japanese grace.
