About these earrings
Keum Boo is an ancient guilding technique first used in Korea and also found in Japan and China. The process involves layering pure 24K gold onto pure silver. A layer of pure silver is created on sterling silver through a process of depletion guilding using a torch. Then the pure gold is layered and bonded to the silver via heat and pressure. The results are striking!
Made with 100% recycled silver. Did you know by using recycled silver, greenhouse gases are reduced by up to 97% compared to using newly mined silver?
