A domed Ebony disc at the ear, and below it a tapering Boxwood drop finished with hand-painted detail.
Surabhi 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 — fully seasoned, dense and stable. Read how the wood gets here.
The drop is shaped in the round rather than cut flat — full at the shoulder, narrowing to a point, so it turns and catches light along a curve instead of showing one face. Against it, the stud above is a plain domed Ebony circle with nothing on it at all.
The detail on the drop 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 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.

Styling ▾
The black-and-gold pairing keeps this versatile despite the painted detail — it reads as warm and traditional against a saree, and as graphic against a plain shirt.
Because the drop is shaped in the round, it holds up from any angle, which makes it a good choice for an occasion where you will be seen in profile as much as head-on.
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 detail printed or painted? ▾
Painted, by hand, one pair at a time. Nothing here is printed or transferred, which is why no two pairs carry exactly the same lines.
Is the black disc painted too? ▾
No. That is Ebony, a wood that is black on its own — the same wood used for violin fingerboards. It is left plain and polished.
Will the painted detail 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.
Will they be heavy on my ears? ▾
The pair weighs about 10 g — light enough to wear through a long function without thinking about them.
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.
