Colorful Handmade Bead and Fabric Earrings

This jewelry is one-of-a-kind, handcrafted by artisans along the colorful coasts of Colombia. Each piece of jewelry is crafted by a local group of Colombian women, many of who are single mothers seeking to support their families. By purchasing, you help to preserve a variety of traditional art forms passed down through several generations, while also creating an economic impact for this community of artisans. Their designs are influenced by the rich, colorful culture of Colombia and South America. They are continually inspired by the Wayuu weavers, known for their intricate patterns and designs. In addition, they use traditional seed beading techniques from the indigenous Embera tribe. Their metal smith jewelers work with alambrismo techniques, 24-kt. gold triple plated metals, and natural stones
