An elongated triangle of tightly strung cream seed beads, cut across by a diagonal band of reddish-brown and finished in loose fringe that moves below the ear.

  • Material: Glass seed beads, stainless steel
  • Color: Cream and deep red
  • Drop: 3.625 in plus hook
  • Width: 1.25 in
  • Closure: Fish hook
  • Origin: Guatemala
  • Ear wires: Stainless steel

The drop reaches just past three and a half inches — long enough to catch light and movement without weight. The fringe softens the geometry, so the pattern shifts slightly each time you turn.
Details
  • Hand-strung geometric striping
  • Loose beaded fringe
  • Lightweight drop
  • Hypoallergenic stainless steel hooks

Because each pair is hand-strung, small variation in bead color, stripe placement and fringe length between the two earrings is normal.

The Story

Guatemalan beadwork sits alongside the country's better-known backstrap weaving. The diagonal band crossing a cream field echoes the geometric striping common in the region's textiles — lines built up row by row rather than printed on.

Each pair is worked bead by bead. An artisan strings and knots individual glass seed beads into rows, shaping the elongated triangle and building the color change freehand as the piece grows, then finishes the lower edge with loose fringe strands.

The fringe is as functional as it is decorative: it lightens the overall weight of the piece and gives the pattern movement, so the geometry shifts with the wearer instead of sitting static.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Guatemalan beadwork

Keep away from water, perfume and harsh chemicals. Store flat in a dry place to protect the beadwork and fringe.

Questions

What are these earrings made from?

Hand-strung glass seed beads on flexible thread, with stainless steel ear wires.

Are they heavy to wear?

No. Seed beads keep the drop lightweight despite the elongated size, and the fringe adds movement without adding weight.

Will the two earrings match exactly?

They are hand-strung, so small variations in bead color and stripe placement between the pair are normal rather than machine-perfect symmetry.

Are the ear wires safe for sensitive ears?

The hooks are stainless steel, a hypoallergenic option for most sensitive-ear wearers.

How should I store and clean them?

Store flat in a dry place and avoid water, perfume and harsh chemicals, which can loosen or discolor the beadwork over time.
