Iris Thicket: Hand-Painted Chinese Lacquer Hoops

Step into the quiet poetry of Iris Thicket — a pair of hand-painted Chinese lacquer hoop earrings where botanical grace meets sculptural form. Designed in a bold C-shaped silhouette, each earring becomes a miniature lacquer canvas, with iris flowers unfolding across the curved surface in deep, vintage tones.

The iris, often associated with wisdom, courage, and quiet strength, brings a meaningful floral story to the design. Available in black, gold, and red, these earrings blend the polished depth of Chinese lacquer with a modern statement hoop shape — artistic, refined, and quietly striking.

The Art of Copper-Base Chinese Lacquer:

Crafted on a copper base, each earring is finished with layers of Chinese lacquer to create a smooth, luminous surface with depth and durability. The floral iris motif is then painted by hand, giving every pair subtle variations in brushwork, colour placement, and lacquer glow.

Unlike flat printed patterns, the lacquered surface holds light with a richer, more dimensional finish. The result is a pair of wearable art earrings that carries the spirit of traditional Chinese lacquer craft into a modern botanical form.
