CUNZU SS25 ALONG THE JOURNEY draws inspiration from the Miao migration routes, extending the journey deep into the Andes. In this distant South American landscape, the Mapuche herders live symbiotically with their horses, drawing inspiration from their horse’s mane, weaving each strand meticulously into delicate patterns with patience and care, much like the Miao people shaping intricate floral designs in fine silver, weaving their love for their homeland into their craftsmanship.
The softness of horsehair is like the feathers of the wind, while the depth of silver is like the roots of the earth. We bring these two together through the warmth of handcraft, uniting Miao silver artistry with South American horsehair weaving techniques, creating a profound dialogue across continents.

The earrings are composed of two circular floral pieces woven from horsehair, connected and secured by traditional Miao plum blossom silver studs. Both the studs and the horsehair pieces are detachable, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance. The lower horsehair piece can also be removed to transform the design into stud earrings.
