Why It's Perfect for You
Bridges the gap between organic material and fine metalwork, making it a true conversation piece.
The calabash design pays homage to a vessel central to African daily life, letting you wear heritage as adornment.
The rich, dark wood grain set against warm, hand coiled brass offers understated elegance with cultural depth.
Light enough for all day wear while carrying enough presence to anchor any outfit.
The Calabash Earrings draw on the gourd's enduring role as a vessel of nourishment and gathering. Each bead is shaped and finished by hand, then bound in brass wire coils before being hung from an elongated, swirl worked ear wire, a nod to traditional wirework techniques passed through generations of West and Southern African metalsmiths. Designer: Negritude Origin: South Africa Material: Natural wood (calabash style beads), brass wire wrapping, brass ear wires Gender: Female Color Palette: Deep Espresso, Warm Gold/Brass Design: Organic/Sculptural Office & Professional: Pair with a tailored blouse and neutral tones to let the earrings' organic shape stand out. Evening & Statement: Wear with an off shoulder dress or wrap top to let them swing freely as the focal point. Casual: Style with a linen shirt and denim for an effortless, earthy look that leans into their natural texture. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place inside their original pouch to protect the wood from moisture. Cleaning: Gently wipe the wood and brass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoid water or harsh chemicals which can damage the wood finish. Safety: Handle with care to prevent chipping or cracking of the wooden beads. Keep away from small children due to small parts and sharp wire ends.Artisan's Perspective
