alternative earrings

Crafted by hand, black ceramic beads fall below pink beads of recycled glass. Ghanaian artisan Grace Bernice Buamah creates these dangle earrings with a passion for converting recycled materials. Petite gold-tone beads of recycled plastic alternate with the larger beads.

What once held water and soda now has a new life in this sophisticated pair of dangle earrings made from recycled glass and recycled plastic beads. Eva Asantewa Amakye of Ghana presents these earrings that feature alternating faceted and round, matte-finish beads. Of the four beads, one is clear, a twinkling light amongst the other black beads. The artisan assembles the beads on brass hooks.
