Origami Crane Earrings Gift for Valentine's Day

A new selection of handmade origami crane earrings are now available at our Etsy Orinique shop.

The crane, fabled to have a life span of a thousand years, has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune and longevity in Japan. Cranes mate for life and therefore also symbolize fidelity. In recent years, the origami version of the crane has also become an international symbol of peace.
