These handmade clay bead earrings are crafted in Guatemala by local artisans using small, hand-formed clay beads. Each bead is shaped, fired, and coloured using natural pigments, giving the earrings their soft, earthy tones and matte finish. Subtle variations in size and colour are part of their beauty and reflect their handmade nature.
The geometric patterns are inspired by Maya textile designs from the Guatemalan highlands, echoing shapes found in traditional weaving that represent balance, landscape, and connection to the land. The fringe style adds gentle movement while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Made using locally sourced clay and natural colours, these earrings are a beautiful example of contemporary Guatemalan craft, blending ancestral visual language with modern, wearable design. Each pair is unique and carries the quiet story of hands, earth, and place.
