ORBIT | Hand-Embroidered Yi Seed-Stitch Drop Earrings

Inspired by the meeting of mountain ridges and the rising moon, Orbit brings together the colors and textures of Yunnan's landscapes in a sculptural embroidered form.

Its curved silhouette evokes a celestial arc, while the interplay of colors recalls the changing tones of mountain earth and distant horizons. Drawing on the visual traditions of Yi embroidery, the design transforms familiar natural forms into a contemporary piece of wearable textile art.

A small composition of color and texture, shaped by the rhythm of handwork.

Orbit features a distinctive crescent-shaped silhouette, with a richly textured embroidered surface that gives the design depth and character.

Unlike the smoother finish of satin stitch, its seed-stitch embroidery creates a more tactile, granular appearance. Layers of closely placed stitches bring together different colors, forming a lively surface that changes subtly with the light.

With its more expressive proportions, Orbit makes a striking accent while retaining the softness of textile craftsmanship.

Each pair is individually embroidered, with subtle variations in stitch placement and texture.

Orbit draws on traditional Yi embroidery and features seed stitch, known in Chinese as 籽针绣 (Da Zi Xiu).

The technique builds texture through a series of small, individually placed stitches. As the stitches accumulate across the fabric surface, they create a richly textured finish with a distinctive sense of depth.

The curved outline is carefully finished to define the crescent silhouette, bringing together the dimensional quality of the embroidery and the clarity of its overall shape.

Each pair is brought to life by hand, preserving the subtle character of individual craftsmanship.

With its crescent silhouette and vibrant embroidered surface, Orbit brings a more expressive touch to everyday styling.

Its curved shape pairs naturally with clean, minimalist clothing, structured jackets, linen, and knitwear. Wear it as a statement accent or let its colors become the focal point of a more understated look.

A piece for those who enjoy bringing texture, color, and a little artistic character into the everyday.
