statement earrings

Inspired by the cultural richness of San Juan La Laguna, artisan Meliza Tzay in Guatemala designs and crafts this pair of dangle earrings. Two rectangles are crafted from cedar wood, painted by hand with designs that evoke traditional Guatemalan huipil blouses.

Artisan Monica Vazquez of Mexico hand crafts these lovely dangle earrings that feature a Talavera-style ceramic bead painted with a beautiful deep blue leaf motif with a matching crystal bead above and below. The hooks and findings on the earrings are sterling silver.

About her work, the artisan says: "I have a deep admiration and love for everything that has been done in Mexico. I love that with these designs we give women beautiful accessories and highlight Mexican craftsmanship."

Because each ceramic bead is individually handcrafted, the motifs and their placement may vary slightly, making your earrings an original work of art.
