Huge Flower Earrings

So one of the most popular and kind of flashy creations I've come up with recently are these big flowers.  This specific pair was already gifted to a friend in Tokyo (@udinski), but that's what is cool about cukimber because I try and personalize every pair.  I do all the concept planning to actually hammering away.  The size is around 7 cm by 5 cm.  Looks great on everyone.

Hey everyone!  I've recently hit the CTRL+ALT+Delete on a bunch of things, and moved to Shanghai a couple of months ago.  In the meantime I've been designing new jewelry daily, and finally am ok with selling some online.  I've finally thought all this stuff through and am really pushing myself to places I wasn't so sure I could go.   I have been told that once you've become a pickle, you can never go back to being a cucumber.  But you can definitely buy a cukimber.

新年快樂! Happy Chinese New Year!

Celebrated Chinese New Year with some friends.  Egg tarts are good, but where is my RED ENVELOPE? These teardrop earrings aren't going to pay for themselves!!

鬼は外,福は内 Demons out, Good luck in!

Today is Setsubun (節分) which is a holiday that marks the beginning of spring!  Basically the closest Japanese culture gets to Halloween.  Here I am celebrating in Mihara (Hiroshima-ken), in costume no doubt!  No matter where I go, I make sure to party in style.  Featuring black matte/silver chain earrings.

Chillin' like a villan

Made it to Tottori Ken for the San In Beach Party.  It was epic but...woke up buried up to my head in sand with no memory.  At least these wooden earrings made me look super cute while I tried to gather my dignity.

cukimber at a Mexican fiesta

Arriving at the party fashionably in new glow in the dark earrings.  So many sights to take in.  Photo credits/concept goes to Lia!  Muy Caliente!!

cukimber is on the move!

I've been trying to get newer earrings out there but haven't had a model at the right place at the right time yet. So, I decided to make it the right place (in a recently drunken glass of Guinness).  Keeping it cool as a cukimber.  Especially in this terribly humid weather we have here in Japan.
