OAKLAND INSPIRED.
Celebrate your Oakland pride with these new lasercut bamboo earrings. I designed these earrings locally in Oakland with the goal of using my engineering experience to create products inspired by our beautiful and culturally-rich city.
LASERCUT BAMBOO EARRINGS.
These large earrings are made of bamboo veneer and paired with antique bronze findings. Miniscule portions of bamboo are burned away by a high-output laser to leave behind a uniquely detailed earring. The grain of the bamboo adds a nice texture while the browning from the laser cutting process adds depth and contrast.
DESIGNED IN OAKLAND.
The earring shape is based on the ubiquitous official Oakland tree logo that is found our street signs, city documents, construction barriers, and even trash cans. It is everywhere in Oakland. Here in Oakland, the logo was modified and optimized for the lasercutting process to improve the earring’s strength while still preserving fine detail.
MADE IN OAKLAND.
Keep your money in the Oakland community. These earrings are lasercut here in West Oakland. The earrings come on a hand-printed card featuring iconic Oakland landmarks.
