mexican beadwork

Cascading fringe and intricate beadwork come together in a striking display of craftsmanship in these gorgeous waterfall earrings. Mexican artisan Adriana Trejo hand-threads each tiny bead, forming a protective Turkish eye pattern surrounded by a flowing mix of white and contrasting shades. Polished sterling silver hooks complete the design, making these earrings a distinctive statement piece.

Images of Frida Kahlo come to life in tiny, colorful seed beads. Artisans from the Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts craft these novel three-inch long earrings, meticulously placing tiny seed beads one by one. Immortalized in film, Kahlo and her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, were leaders in Mexico's artistic and intellectual world during the first half of the 20th century.
