Grinsing Recycled Wood Earrings

Isen Batik Series: Eco Friendly Wood Dangle Earrings

Batik is an ancient art which uses wax resistant dye on fabric to achieve intricate and colourful patterns. It is originally from Java, Indonesia, where our maker is located. She was inspired by the Isen-isen, tiny motifs featured on batik designs. The names of isen-isen are usually according to their shape and some also have their own meaning.

This particular Isen-isen motif is called Grinsing, a dragon scale inspired pattern. Gring means disease and sing means no, the motif is regarded as sacred design. Our maker recreates this design using reclaimed wood and hand paints each of the motifs to enhance the beauty of the design.

Our Grinsing Recycled Wood Earrings are handmade using offcuts of teak, jackfruit wood or mango wood that are salvaged from furniture factories. These upcycled earrings are elegant, simple and lightweight. Each piece is unique and no two will ever be the same.  They make a great eco-friendly gift.
