The Ember Studs
The maker's mark
A single uncut stone at each ear, the color of dark honey held to a lamp. The two are deliberately unmatched, because the stones were not cut to match: one is broad and blunt, the other narrower and drawn to a point. Brass was worked around each until it held.

Why don't the two studs match?
Because the stones do not. Each was set as it came rather than cut to a matching shape. Worn, the pair reads as intentional.
How are the stones held?
Brass is worked over the edge of each stone until it grips on its own. Nothing is glued.
Can I wear them all day?
Yes. They are light for their size and sit close, and the post-and-butterfly back holds steady.
Will the brass darken over time?
It can, and many people come to like it. Brass responds to air and skin, deepening slowly in tone. Keeping the piece dry and storing it in its box slows that down, and a gentle wipe with a soft cloth brings the brightness back.

What is Gullye
Gullye finds its soul in the forgotten lanes, where quiet hands shape beauty that the world often overlooks. We bring these stories forward not as relics of the past, but as living treasures meant to be cherished.
The house of Gullye
Slow by hand.
Heirloom objects from the workshops of South Asia, made in editions, never in factories.
The Ember Studs
A single uncut stone at each ear, the color of dark honey held to a lamp. The two are deliberately unmatched, because the stones were not cut to match: one is broad and blunt, the other narrower and drawn to a point. Brass was worked around each until it held.
Gullye makes sculptural pieces by hand, in small editions, with master artisans in Jaipur. Once an edition sells out, it is retired.
The specification
Brass darkens gently with time and touch, and an uncut stone keeps the surfaces it was found with. Wipe both with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the piece away from water, perfume, and lotion, each of which dulls a raw surface. Store it flat and on its own, so the exposed edges are not knocked against harder pieces. Store in the Gullye box.
