Some things only reveal themselves when held close. The Blush Thermochromic Leather Flower Earrings are hand-sculpted from genuine raw cowhide by the FUGE artist — shaped petal by petal into a translucent orchid bloom that changes with your warmth. At room temperature, the petals appear crystalline white with deep rose tips. As they near your skin, the leather gradually reveals its natural warm ivory tone. In cooler air, subtle blue-green tones emerge from within. No two pairs respond in quite the same way. This is not a flaw — it is the piece responding to you. + Read more MaterialsGenuine raw cowhide leather (hand-sculpted) · Hand-mixed thermochromic artist dyes (rose pink tips, translucent white body) · Gold-tone stud post and butterfly back DimensionsDiameter: approx. 4.5 cm / 1.8"Sold as: Single piece (×1) or Pair (×2) The Colour ChangeThe natural cowhide used in FUGE pieces contains varying levels of natural oils, resulting in a spectrum of warm yellow, blue, and green undertones within the leather. As the earring warms near skin temperature, its original warm ivory colour becomes visible. In cooler conditions, subtle blue-green tones may appear. Each pair responds slightly differently — this is the magic of handmade craft. CraftsmanshipEach earring is entirely handmade using the FUGE leather sculpture technique — a process of wetting, shaping, and setting raw cowhide into three-dimensional forms without moulds. FUGE was founded in 2009 and is widely regarded as the originator of the leather sculpture flower jewellery craft in China. The brand founder personally collaborated with domestic tanneries to develop a proprietary vegetable-tanned cowhide suitable for repeated sculpting — reducing the industry’s reliance on imported materials. Care Instructions· Keep away from water and moisture — leather sculpture is not waterproof· Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve dye colour· Store flat in a box or on a jewellery stand — do not compress· Handle gently — the sculptural form is set but delicate· Do not bend or reshape the petals· The colour deepening with wear is a normal characteristic of the material Shipping & ReturnsFree worldwide shipping · UK delivery 7–12 business days · International 7–20 business days · 30-day returns — contact [email protected] + FAQ How does the colour change work?The colour change is a natural property of the raw cowhide used in FUGE pieces. The leather contains natural oils that respond to temperature — near body heat, the leather’s warm ivory base tone becomes visible; in cooler conditions, blue-green undertones may emerge. This is not a chemical treatment but an inherent quality of the material. Will my earrings look exactly like the photos?Because the colour response varies with the natural oil content of each hide, and because the dyes are hand-mixed fresh for each batch, no two pairs are identical. The photos show a representative example. Your pair will be unique. What is the difference between Single and Pair?The Single option (×1) includes one earring — ideal for an asymmetric look or to replace a lost piece. The Pair option (×2) includes two matching earrings. Is genuine leather used?Yes. All FUGE pieces are made from genuine first-layer cowhide — including both vegetable-tanned and raw cowhide, selected for their fine grain, flexibility, and ability to hold sculptural form. The brand founder personally developed a proprietary domestic cowhide suitable for leather sculpture, reducing reliance on imported materials. Is this suitable as a gift?Absolutely. The Blush earrings arrive in elegant packaging and make an extraordinary gift — especially for those who love pieces with a story. The colour-change quality makes them a natural conversation piece. + Craftsmanship Notes All dyes used in FUGE leather sculpture pieces are hand-mixed and hand-painted by the artist. Due to the nature of the dyes, even the same design in the same colourway must be freshly mixed before each application — resulting in subtle colour variations between batches. The natural cowhide also contains varying levels of natural oils: some hides appear warmer, others lean towards yellow, blue, or green. As a result, the colour of each pair may differ slightly. Colour may also appear differently across various lighting conditions and screen displays. These variations are inherent to this craft and are part of what makes each piece unique.
