A rounded bullet-shaped Boxwood drop carrying a hand-painted motif in red and green.
Malvika is cut from Boxwood, one of the woods that passes through a Kolkata workshop making parts for musical instruments, where it is used for fittings and for the makers' own bench tools. It reaches us as offcuts from that work — fully seasoned, dense and stable. Read how the wood gets here.
The shape is turned in the round rather than cut flat — domed at the shoulder, tapering to a point, so it catches light along a curve and reads as an object rather than a silhouette.
The motif is painted by hand, pair by pair. Boxwood is close-grained enough that painting on it is closer to working on fine paper than on timber: the colour sits bright rather than sinking away, and the pale grain stays faintly visible underneath. That is the whole reason to paint on wood instead of on moulded acrylic, where colour sits on a dead surface.
Red and green on a pale Boxwood ground is a warmer palette than most of the range, which runs to black and natural tones — so this is the pair to reach for when an outfit needs a note of colour rather than a contrast.
Details ▾
Wood: Boxwood, responsibly repurposed exotic hardwood.
Finish: hand-painted motif in red and green.
Form: rounded bullet-shaped drop, shaped in the round.
Pair weight: about 10 g.
Findings are metal alloy. Sold as one pair.
Handcrafted in Kolkata, India.
Styling ▾
Small, warm and colourful — lightweight wooden earrings for daily wear that lift a plain outfit without the scale of a statement piece.
The short drop leaves the space above the collarbone clear, so these layer easily with a necklace.
Looking after it ▾
- Keep it in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight — painted work holds its colour best away from strong light.
- Store pieces separately so they do not knock against one another.
- Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Do not scrub the painted surface.
- Avoid perfume, moisturiser, soap and other chemicals.

Is the motif printed or painted? ▾
Painted, by hand, one pair at a time. Nothing is printed or transferred, which is why no two pairs carry exactly the same lines.
Which wood is this? ▾
Boxwood — pale, close-grained, and the reason painted detail sits so cleanly on it. The pale colour is the wood's own, not a base coat.
Will the painted colour wear off? ▾
Not with ordinary wear. Keep the drop away from perfume, moisturiser and soap, wipe it with a dry cloth rather than a damp one, and it will hold.
Are both earrings identical? ▾
Close, but never exactly. Hand-painted work varies slightly from one piece to the next, and the grain of the wood differs as well.
Are these comfortable for daily wear? ▾
Yes. The pair weighs about 10 g, the drop is short, and there is nothing to catch on a collar or a dupatta.
