The Awakening of Kyoto Gold Earrings
In the heart of Rennes, Ciléa's workshop resonates with the creative murmurs of passionate artisans. In this space where tradition and innovation intertwine, unique pieces are born that tell a story.
This is where the Kyoto long earrings come to life, symbols of elegance and refinement inspired by Japanese culture.
An aesthetic journey to Japan
The inspiration behind the Kyoto earrings comes from an imaginary journey to Japan, where the ephemeral beauty of water lily leaves embodies grace and delicacy. Each earring is designed to capture the lightness and poetry of these iconic flowers, reflecting the serenity of Zen gardens and the sophistication of Japanese craftsmanship.
Meaning of the water lily leaf in Japan
In Japan, the water lily leaf, although less emblematic than the lotus, occupies a special place in the symbolism and aesthetics of traditional gardens. Known ashasu no ha, the water lily leaf is valued for its elegant beauty and its association with deep values such as purity, tranquility and harmony with nature.
The water lily leaf is often associated with purity and tranquility in Japanese culture. Placed on the surface of the water, it creates a soothing contrast with the colorful flowers that surround it, evoking a sense of calm and serenity. This representation is particularly appreciated in Japanese gardens, where each element is carefully arranged to promote an atmosphere of meditation and contemplation.
Meticulous craftsmanship
Ciléa's artisans make a point of combining historical techniques and contemporary design. The shades of gold and black are carefully chosen to modernize the brooch with the air of an art deco jewel.
