pattern earrings

By Guatemalan artisan Julio Molina, these dangle earrings are crafted from recycled palo blanco and trumpet tree wood, making an eco-friendly statement wherever they go. Given a red finish, each circular earring displays intricate cutwork patterns, swinging from a hook of sterling silver. Says the artisan, "I love being able to create these earrings. They are totally unique. I believe that with these pieces we can be conscious of the great cutting of trees that is affecting our ecosystem."

Watch the moon blush in these enchanting crescent dangle earrings, where waste becomes wonder through the skilled hands of Guatemala’s Rosario Leiva. Born from recycled CDs destined for landfills, each curved piece is carefully melted in a mold before the artisan works her magic, layering acrylic droplets in ruby reds, deep plums and wine-soaked purples. With the controlled flame of a blow torch, she fuses these elements into translucent works of art, capturing tiny air bubbles that swirl through the color like celestial patterns frozen in time. Suspended from sterling silver hooks, these eco-friendly crescents catch the light with every turn of your head, proving that the most beautiful transformations often come from giving forgotten things a second chance to shine.

Like twin harvest moons rising through an autumn sky, these luminous disc earrings glow with the warmth of fire and the soul of sustainability. Guatemalan artisan Rosario Leiva breathes new life into discarded CDs through an alchemical process that's equal parts precision and poetry: melting recycled fragments in custom molds, painting them with carefully placed acrylic droplets in burnt orange, crimson and golden olive, then wielding a blow torch to fuse it all into translucent perfection. The organic air bubbles trapped within create mesmerizing patterns that shift and shimmer with every movement, while delicate textures ripple across the surface like echoes of the original disc. Dangling from sterling silver hooks, these eco-friendly statement pieces prove that sometimes the most radiant beauty comes from reimagining what others have left behind.
