Ritso · Gold-plated drop earrings with agate · CHARU × Yitso

Striking drop earrings featuring two distinct shapes: an elongated, slightly curved disc of gold-plated silver, whose surface is etched with fine concentric grooves resembling a fingerprint, with a cushion-shaped red Nanhong agate bead set beneath it, allowing it to move freely. The warm, semi-transparent red with its cloudy pattern stands out vividly against the matte gold.

The name Ritso is derived from the Tibetan words for mountain (ri) and lake (tso), and the grooves on the disc reflect the contour lines of a landscape just as much as the lines on a fingertip.

CHARU connects designers with artisan cooperatives in the Tibetan cultural region and uses these connections to develop products that bring traditional techniques into everyday life.
