LI-E9

A deep red rose blooms across a black beaded panel, then dissolves into cascading fringe of red, green and white that keeps moving as you do.

  • Material: Glass seed beads, nickel-free alloy earwire
  • Color: Red, black, green, white
  • Length: 5 in
  • Width: 1.6 in
  • Closure: Nickel-free alloy earwire
  • Origin: Guatemala

At five inches, they sit well below the jaw and pick up light with every turn. The loomed top holds the image steady while the fringe reads as pure motion. Wear them with a plain neckline and let them do the work.
Details
  • Loom-woven rose panel
  • Hand-tied graduated fringe
  • Layered bead detailing
  • Nickel-free alloy earwires
  • Lightweight despite the length

Each pair is loomed and fringed by hand, so bead placement and fringe length vary slightly from one pair to the next.

The Story

The panel is loom-woven: seed beads strung one row at a time on a warp of thread, building the rose the way a weaver builds cloth. Up close each bead stands in for a stitch of color — the image is beaded, not printed.

Floral motifs run through Guatemalan beadwork and textile design, from huipiles to belts. A large red rose on black is one of the boldest choices in that vocabulary, meant to be read from across a room rather than up close.

The fringe is a separate craft. Each strand is hand-tied to the woven panel, graduated in length and color so the tiers fall the way they do. Combining a dense loomed image with loose fringe on one earring takes even tension across both sections.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Loom-woven seed beadwork

Keep the beadwork away from water and perfume, and store the earrings flat or hanging so the fringe doesn't tangle.

Questions

How long are they?

Approximately 5 in long and 1.6 in wide.

Are they heavy to wear?

They look dramatic but the glass seed beads keep them light, so they wear more easily than the length suggests.

Are they good for sensitive ears?

The earwires are nickel-free alloy, a reasonable option for mild metal sensitivities.

How should I store them?

Lay them flat or hang them separately, away from water and perfume, so the fringe stays untangled.

Will every pair look the same?

No two pairs are identical. Because each is loomed and fringed by hand, expect small differences in bead placement and fringe length.
