Artisan Rosario Leiva of Guatemala brings new life to recycled CDs in these beautiful and fascinating dangle earrings with sterling silver hooks. She melts the CD scrap in a mold, then artfully applies droplets of acrylic to achieve her desired colors--purple, turquoise, and yellow for this pair of earrings--and then fuses the CD material and acrylic together using a blow torch. The resulting effect is magnificent translucent color punctuated with air bubbles that create unique patterns.

About her work, the artisan says: "I love creating jewelry with materials that most people would discard. Let's all take the time to think about the endless opportunities we have to give 'waste' materials another chance."

Elaborate floral patterns enliven a pair of crescent-shaped earrings, handcrafted in the Balinese workshop of Nyoman Rena. Stylized vines and leaves are rendered in sterling silver with an oxidized finish.

Dazzling with bright colors, each gem on these earrings symbolizes a different chakra point. Meaning "wheel," chakra refers to the points of spiritual and physical energy in the human body. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red represent the crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root. For these bar earrings Sarote Lochotinunt selects garnet, Madeira citrine(orange), citrine, peridot, topaz, iolite, and amethyst.

Extend your wings and explore the petite facet of the natural realm. Crafted in Mexico by Martha Vargas, these dangle earrings boast gorgeous wing-shaped pendants that dance with ethereal beauty. The pieces go through a long process that allows the sterling silver to shine with two different shades, which makes it possible to create a bold illusion.

These captivating sterling silver dangle earrings command attention with their intricate fusion of delicate chains and bold spiral elements. Each hypnotic detail catches the light differently as you move, creating a dynamic play of shadows and shine that transforms simple outfits into memorable looks. The lustrous finish amplifies their contemporary appeal while maintaining a timeless quality that works for any occasion.
