Antique Shakudo & Black Diamond Earrings
Our earrings feature black diamonds surrounding one-of-a-kind shakudo plaques. Developed by samurai sword-makers for the decoration of the sword-mounts and guards, the Japanese metalworking technique of shakudo involved creating an alloy of copper and gold, inlaid with a range of colored alloys set against a black base.
Since 1861, Gump's has been a destination for jewelry that is distinctive and timeless. To ensure each piece is created to our exacting standards, our expert in-house jewelry team oversees every step of the production process. The result is a statement of pure elegance.
