Details
Ousia — the Greek word for "I am" or "essence." These earrings are a daily act of self-affirmation. Handcrafted brass studs with hypoallergenic titanium pins are joined to Dalmatian Jasper stones and brass discs with braided cord, creating a piece that's sculptural, earthy, and quietly powerful. Jasper is said to bring playfulness and mischief into your life — a reminder not to take yourself too seriously while you stand fully in who you are. Each stone is unique, meaning no two pairs are identical. Handcrafted in Cape Town by Pichulik, available at Petite Protea.
Brass studs with titanium pins.
Stone: Dalmation Jasper
Length: 1.25 in
Handmade in South Africa. Individually handcrafted, every piece reflects the artisan’s touch. Variations are not flaws—they’re part of what makes each creation uniquely yours.
