Earrings that carry your scent
These cube earrings are made of diatomaceous earth. Because the material is porous, full of invisible tiny holes, a drop of fragrance oil or a spritz of perfume stays on them, so you can enjoy a soft scent around you without putting it directly on your skin, even when you are out.
At home, rest them on soil’s aroma stone and refresh them together with a spritz of your perfume. The marble-like pattern is made by hand with a special technique rooted in soil’s plastering craft, so no two pieces are alike. A unique gift for someone special.
About soil
soil was born from a collaboration between Isurugi, a plastering company in Kanazawa with more than 200 years of history, and the Tokyo design firm ASHCONCEPT. It turns diatomaceous earth, a classic Japanese wall material, into absorbent homewares. Diatomaceous earth is a natural material made from the fossilized shells of tiny plankton; it is full of microscopic pores, so it absorbs moisture quickly, releases it again and “breathes”. Each piece is made by hand by skilled plasterers, so there may be tiny individual differences, which do not affect quality.
