Pipa Knot Copper Wire Wrapped Earrings with Freshwater Pearls

Some pieces you buy because you need them. And then there are the ones you buy because you deserve them. These are the latter.

I took the traditional Chinese Pipa Knot and reimagined it as a wire-wrapped frame for a luminous teardrop freshwater pearl — the kind of earring that catches light and turns heads without trying. Wrapped in solid copper wire by hand, here in Virginia, each pair has dimension, texture, and movement that makes them as captivating in motion as they are at rest.

The warm glow of copper plays beautifully against the subtle blush pink of the freshwater pearls, highlighting their natural luster in a way that feels both earthy and quietly luxurious. These are the earrings you reach for when you want to feel like yourself — just a little more so.

Finished with handmade copper French ear wires for a comfortable, secure fit. Made to order, one pair at a time.

Which finish is right for you?

Bare copper develops a natural patina over time — easy to restore with a quick polish whenever you like. For low-maintenance everyday wear (or if you're treating someone special), Sealed with Protectaclear adds an invisible barrier that protects against tarnish.
