Details & Description

1. Small-batch handmade with 925 sterling silver, natural freshwater pearls, porcelain.
2. Light-catching earrings that upgrade simple outfits and make an easy gift-ready pick.
3. For Calm & Protection - steadier mood, calmer mind, and a quiet sense of protection.

A handmade ceramic-and-pearl earring set by ceramic artist Wei Ziwen—fish-shaped porcelain forms combined with delicate metallic-thread weaving, created as wearable reflection and a meaningful gift for mindful hearts.

Behind the Product

Beneath its elegant surface lies a quiet story. Inspired by images of marine life entangled in plastic waste, this piece doesn’t shout— it asks you to look again, to feel empathy, and to hold awareness with tenderness.

For Healing & Comfort, it offers a gentle way to process heaviness: turning reflection into something beautiful you can wear. A small reminder that care—toward the world and toward yourself—can coexist.

Materials & Size

Ceramic, metallic thread, natural freshwater pearls, 925 silver hooks or clips.

Craft Process & Handmade Character

Craft Process: Each fish-shaped ceramic body is kiln-fired with pre-set holes for weaving. Metallic thread is then woven by hand through the ceramic structure, and pearls are assembled to balance texture and movement.

Because the process requires repeated trials to reach the right tension and proportion, every finished pair carries the maker’s persistence.

Handmade Character: Natural mineral glazes and hand weaving create subtle differences in color transparency and thread tension. These variations make each pair truly one of a kind.

Craft Artist & Origin

Wei Ziwen

A ceramic artist who explores the fusion of seemingly contrasting materials, combining fragile porcelain with flexible metal weaving to create works that are both poetic and precise.

    The FolkMake Way

     

    Each FolkMake piece is created with intention — not only in how it looks, but in the feeling, story, and presence it brings to a space or to the person receiving it. Whether quiet or expressive, practical or symbolic, every piece is designed to feel distinctive, meaningful, and worth keeping.

    We care about hand-built form, careful finishing, and the kind of detail that only comes from time and attention. Every piece is judged for precision, balance, and how it feels in real life — so the craftsmanship is something you can actually see and feel.

    Every FolkMake piece is finished one by one, so slight variations in color, texture, or finish are part of what makes it real. The overall design stays true, but each one carries its own small differences — a quiet sign it was made by hand, not pulled from factory stock.

    FAQ

    No. Duties, taxes, and standard worldwide shipping are covered by FolkMake and already included in the price. The price you see is the final delivered price, and you will not need to pay extra customs, tax, or delivery fees when your order arrives.

    They feel much closer to art jewelry than novelty earrings. The fish form is only the starting point - what makes them special is the combination of kiln-fired ceramic, hand weaving, and freshwater pearls, which gives the pair a more thoughtful and sculptural presence in real life.

    They can still work well with simple outfits. The pair is designed to catch light and add texture, so it can upgrade a plain look without needing a dramatic outfit around it.

    They are wearable, but they do need gentle handling. The ceramic parts are fragile by nature, and the care notes specifically recommend storing each piece separately and avoiding collision, so this is best for someone who wears jewelry with care rather than tossing it around casually.

    It is a strong gift if the person likes meaningful, design-led jewelry. It already comes with a clear emotional direction - reflective, gentle, and sea-connected - while still being wearable enough to avoid feeling like a difficult art object.

    Choose Black & Silver if you want the strongest contrast and a more graphic look. Choose Grey & Silver if you want something quieter and more understated. Choose 3-Colors if you want the most layered, visibly crafted look. All three keep the same core structure, so the choice is mainly about visual mood.

    No - and that is part of the point. The piece combines natural mineral glaze effects, hand weaving, and freshwater pearls, so slight differences in color transparency, thread tension, and overall detail are expected, making each pair genuinely one of a kind.

    1. Store each ceramic piece separately to avoid collision.
    2. Earring hooks, studs, and backs are made of 925 silver; avoid prolonged contact with water or chemicals.
    3. Ceramic is fragile, handle gently during wear and storage.
