A pale Boxwood triangle with a broad Ebony triangle set inside it, ruled across with fine lines.
Ishika is made from Boxwood and Ebony, two of the woods that pass through a Kolkata workshop making parts for musical instruments. The Ebony is the wood of violin fingerboards and tailpieces; the Boxwood is what instrument makers use for fittings and for their own bench tools. Both reach us as offcuts from that work ā fully seasoned, dense and stable. Read how the wood gets here.
The piece is built in two stages. The broad dark triangle is a solid piece of Ebony, cut to shape and laid onto the Boxwood beneath it. The fine lines that rule across both woods are veneer ā leaf-thin strips of wood cut and laid down one by one. Two different jobs, two different thicknesses of material, finished back to one face.
The result is a triangle inside a triangle, which is a sharper idea than most wooden jewellery attempts. There is no curve anywhere on it, and at this size it sits flat against the lobe rather than hanging ā a stud with the presence of a dangler.

Styling ā¾
A geometric stud is the easiest statement to wear to work ā nothing swings, nothing catches, and the shape reads as design rather than ornament. It sits well with a shirt, a plain kurta or a handloom saree.
Because it is a stud, it also survives hair worn down, where a long drop would disappear.
Looking after it ā¾
- Keep it in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
- Keep it dry. A laid surface dislikes prolonged damp, so take these off before washing or swimming.
- Store pieces separately so they do not knock against one another ā the edges are where laid wood is most vulnerable.
- Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing.
- Avoid perfume, moisturiser, soap and other chemicals.

Are the dark parts painted on? ā¾
No. The dark triangle is a solid piece of Ebony and the fine lines are wood veneer ā both real wood at their own colour, laid onto the Boxwood. Nothing is stained, dyed or printed.
What does veneer mean here? ā¾
A leaf-thin strip of solid wood, cut and laid onto the surface beneath it ā the method used on instrument cases and fine cabinetry. It is how a line this fine can be made in wood at all. Keep the piece dry and avoid knocking the edges and it will hold for years.
Are these studs or danglers? ā¾
Studs. The triangle sits flat against the earlobe and nothing hangs below it.
Are they comfortable for a full day? ā¾
Yes. The pair weighs about 10 g and a flat stud puts almost no pull on the lobe.
Will the colour fade? ā¾
Wood deepens rather than fades. Kept out of direct sunlight and away from chemicals, both woods darken slightly over the years and hold their polish.
