Raiza Earrings :Beneath the silence

The Sprout Earrings are a tribute to beginnings — simple in form, yet rich in meaning. Inspired by the delicate emergence of a sprout from the earth, this piece speaks of new life: thin and fragile at first glance, yet powerful and determined at its core.

At the center of the design sits a green agate stone, breathing with the color of life. Green is not only a symbol of nature but of hope — the kind of hope that finds its way through even the hardest soils.

These earrings were created during a time when the streets of Iran echoed not just with voices, but with sprouts — young people rising from silence and oppression, reaching toward the light.

For me, creating this piece was a deeply instinctive act — not of resistance, but of reverence. It was a way of saying that even when our roots remain unseen, we are still alive — and we grow. The sprout, seemingly fragile, holds the essence of a tree within.

This earring reminds me — and perhaps reminds all of us — that no pressure, no silence, and no darkness can stop real growth. We may linger in the soil for a while, but eventually, we find the light.

Sprout is more than just jewelry.

It is a sign for those who, even in darkness, still believe:

life continues, and light always finds a way in.
