The original bookworm - in natural cork tones. These handpainted cork bookworm earrings are a mismatched pair with quiet charm and a lot of character, each handcut from sustainable cork leather and painted by hand in our Suffolk studio.

Part of our Lost in a Good Book collection — because there is no such thing as too many books and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Materials

Our cork leather is made from the bark of cork oak trees, which naturally regenerates after harvesting without harming the tree. This makes cork a renewable, eco-friendly material that’s both beautiful and sustainable.

  • Made from sustainable cork leather — lightweight and environmentally friendly
  • Gold flecked cork adds an eye-catching element of warmth, colour and shimmer
  • Hypoallergenic stainless steel findings, suitable for sensitive ears — lead and nickel free

Every Pair is Unique

Care

Each pair is sealed to help protect the artwork and extend its lifespan. To keep your earrings looking their best, please refer to the earring care and storage FAQs at the bottom of the page. We recommend avoiding contact with water!
