These embroidered bird earrings originate from the lakeside villages of Dianchi, Kunming.
The lively bird motifs are created by a local grandmother—patterns inspired by the small swallows that perch under her eaves, symbols of home, hope, and gentle blessings.

Through thoughtful redesign in a modern art museum setting, this traditional rural embroidery has been transformed into a pair of refined, wearable artworks.
Each tiny bird is carefully hand-stitched by skilled village artisans, with double-sided, double-colored embroidery, bringing depth, texture, and a touch of whimsy to every piece.

These earrings carry more than beauty—they carry a story.
A story of discovering the artistic soul hidden in the countryside, of reimagining traditional motifs with new life, and of letting the birds once found only in a grandmother’s courtyard fly into a wider sky.

Wear them as a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the quiet poetry of everyday rural life.
