A black triangle sits at the top of each earring, opening into a long curtain of cream fringe scattered with black beads that shifts and swings with the smallest movement.

  • Material: Glass seed beads, nickel-free alloy earwire
  • Color: Cream and black
  • Drop: 4.25 in
  • Closure: Fish hook
  • Origin: Guatemala
  • Panel: 3.75 x 1.3 in

The panel reads as graphic and still; the fringe reads as movement. Together they hold a strong silhouette without weight, dropping just over four inches from the hook and staying light against the ear all day.

Details
  • Hand-woven beadwork
  • Dangling fringe with movement
  • Lightweight for all-day wear
  • Graphic two-tone geometric pattern

Because each pair is woven by hand, bead placement and fringe length may vary slightly from pair to pair.

The Story

Seed-bead weaving is a Guatemalan craft: rows of tiny glass beads threaded by hand into panels that hang, drape or fringe. A single misplaced bead shifts the whole pattern, so the work is slow and counted.

The triangle-and-stripe motif at the top belongs to Guatemala's graphic beadwork, echoing the geometry long used in the country's textile weaving. In a spare cream-and-black palette, the pattern reads clean and modern while keeping the structure of the technique.

Below the woven panel, the fringe strands are strung and knotted individually so the drape falls evenly and moves with the wearer instead of sitting stiff. A nickel-free earwire is added last.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Handwoven Guatemalan seed-bead work

Keep away from water and perfume, and store flat or hanging so the fringe does not crush or tangle.
