We focus on creating pieces that reflect our own creative direction, and we hope you’ll find something you love among our existing collections. Thank you for understanding!

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we do ship internationally — but only to select countries. Due to customs regulations and import restrictions in certain regions, we are unfortunately unable to ship to every country. If your country does not appear as an available shipping destination during checkout on Etsy, we may not be able to accept orders from there at this time. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us on Etsy and we’ll be happy to check for you.

Do I need an Etsy account to place an order?

Not necessarily. Etsy allows you to check out as a guest without creating an account. It’s quick and secure.

Can I place an order directly through this website?

Not at this time. This website is for information only — all orders must be placed through our Etsy store.

Why do you use paper cords in your jewelry?

There's no strict rule that it has to be mizuhiki — but we were naturally drawn to it for what it uniquely offers. Unlike wire or thread, mizuhiki is a curious material: it can stay perfectly straight, bend softly, or be tied into intricate forms. That freedom opens up endless creative possibilities.

It’s also incredibly lightweight, no matter the size — making even bold designs easy and comfortable to wear.
One of our favorite aspects is how even the simplest knot can appear delicate and refined, yet striking — a quality that's truly unique to mizuhiki. And perhaps most of all, we’re inspired by the soft, nuanced colors that are so distinctly Japanese.
That blend of flexibility, lightness, and quiet elegance is what keeps us creating with mizuhiki.

Care & Maintenance

Are your earrings water-resistant?

No, our earrings are not water-resistant.
While mizuhiki is a surprisingly durable material,
we intentionally do not apply any coating in order to preserve its natural color and texture. As a result, the jewelry is not waterproof.

Mizuhiki is made from paper, so exposure to water may cause it to lose its shape or change color. Please avoid intentionally getting it wet.

If it does come into contact with water, gently blot it with a dry towel and allow it to air dry in the shade.

Can I sleep with my mizuhiki jewelry on?

We do not recommend sleeping with your mizuhiki jewelry on.
While mizuhiki is surprisingly durable for a paper-based material, it can be permanently creased or misshaped if pressure is applied while you sleep.

Once a bend or fold has been set, it cannot be undone — so to preserve the clean shape and longevity of your piece, we suggest removing it before bed.

Can I wear mizuhiki jewelry while exercising?

We do not recommend wearing mizuhiki jewelry during exercise.
Mizuhiki is made from paper and, while durable for everyday use, it’s not designed to withstand sweat, moisture, or physical impact.

Also, because mizuhiki is extremely lightweight — one of its greatest advantages — it can sometimes go unnoticed if it slips off. During active movement, there’s a higher risk of losing the piece without realizing it.

To keep your jewelry in the best condition (and in your possession!), we suggest removing it before any physical activity.
