This earring design draws its inspiration from the graceful posture of the Taisho Sanke Koi (Taisho Three-Colored Nishikigoi), symbolizing good fortune, progress, and vitality.
The design utilizes enamel, ruby, obsidian, and gold trim to outline the form, complemented by a tassel accent crafted from fine jewelry and diamonds. By deliberately incorporating intangible cultural heritage techniques from China, such as cloisonné (掐絲) and gold-base enamel (金胎琺瑯), the piece distinctively highlights the depth of Oriental culture.
When worn, the overall shape exhibits a lively and refined Oriental elegance. It foregoes ostentatious extravagance, instead pursuing a serene and quietly fashionable Oriental demeanor. The complete earring delicately sways and dances with the wearer's light footsteps, beautifully embodying the vibrant essence of a leaping koi.
