Small reticulated Keum Boo Heart Studs

Infuse your daily jewellery stack with these pretty petite heart-shaped stud earrings of reticulated silver  with 24ct gold.  

To create each pair, the silver is carefully torch-heated to achieve a reticulated finish—a specialised metalworking technique that creates a rustic, molten surface texture reminiscent of natural stone or ripples in water. Using the ancient Korean technique of Keum-boo, delicate 24k pure gold foil is permanently heat-fused onto the raised silver peaks, catching the light with every move.

Delicate and lightweight, these small heart studs add a subtle artisan edge to everyday wear, modern minimalism, or second-earlobe piercings. Because reticulation and Keum-boo are inherently organic processes, no two hearts are identical, making your pair a truly one-of-a-kind wearable piece of art.

Petite Heart Silhouette: Subtly romantic and comfortable enough for daily wear, sleeping, or stacking in secondary piercings.

How to Care for Your Keum-Boo Jewelry

Because Keum-boo features a delicate layer of pure 24k gold permanently fused to silver, gentle care will keep your piece glowing for years to come.

 Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Never use silver polishing cloths, harsh chemical dips, or abrasive pads directly over the gold area, as these can gradually wear down the fine gold surface.

 Clean Gently: Wash with warm water and a tiny drop of mild dish soap. Use your fingers or a soft-bristled baby toothbrush to gently clean away oils, then pat dry with a lint-free, soft cloth.

 Keep Away from Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays.

 Store Safely: Keep your piece in a soft cloth pouch or an airtight bag away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent natural silver tarnish and surface scratches.
