View attachment 3667013 Here is my 05 paired with earrings that I inherited from my mother-in-law. She bought these in the 1950s when she lived in Japan. When I first saw 05, I couldn't believe how the flower detail matched them perfectly! ( My Constance wanted to join in on the Samurai Party) This photo was taken at night inside.

Perfect! At first I didn't see the jewelry- it matches so perfectly!

This is an amazing match, Ladybaga! Are the earrings ivory? It was still perfectly legal to buy/sell ivory in the 1950s, that's why I'm asking. :smile:

Many congratulations on 05, truly beautiful and striking. I think it would be my choice out of all of them for you, a natural match.

The earrings look like hand carved ivory.

The chrysanthemum in Japan is associated with long life, rejuvenation, Japan's royal family and the power of healing. Perfect for birthdays, samurai warriors and inherited earrings passed down through the generations ;) .

Thank you so much PT for explaining the chrysanthemum in Japanese culture. It makes my scarf and earrings that much more special. If my MIL were still living, she would have looked amazing in 02. That is your CW, correct? It is so pretty.
