OCHRE MAGUEY EARRINGS

OCHRE MAGUEY EARRINGS  

THESE BEAUTIFUL STATEMENT EARRINGS WERE WOVEN IN A NATURAL FIBER EXTRACTED FROM THE ALOE VERA PLANT. THE FIBER WAS PRODUCED BY THE KANKUAMO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY AND PAIRED WITH A CAÑA FLECHA STRAP MADE BY THE TUCHÍN COOPERATIVE OF ARTISANS. 

THE COMBINATION OF TWO ARTISANAL TECHNIQUES IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THESE EARRINGS IN A VERY SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL WAY. THE DYES USED ALL  COME FROM PLANTS. 

ALTHOUGH LARGE, THESE EARRINGS ARE NOT HEAVY. THEY ARE FINISHED OFF IN WOOD AND GOLD PLATED BRASS THAT GIVES THEM A RATHER ELEGANT BUT BOHEMIAN LOOK.
