Day 3: Raffia Earrings
These beautiful raffia earrings have been lovingly hand-woven, formed, and dyed.
This is actually a tricky little pair! With all of the colours hiding throughout the coil until appearing and entering the centre hole, giving a star effect!
This little pair is day 3 of a challenge to myself to create 1 set per day for 7 days (so not much else happened that week :)
Dyes: Indigo, cochineal, turmeric, logwood, fustic, landscape purple.
Size: Approx 3cm diameter raffia coil
Why are these earrings so amazing?
-They are all as unique as you are!
-Light-weight (you won't even know your wearing them!)
-Durable enough to wear everyday!
-Hand-formed earring findings - Argentium silver
-Naturally hand-dyed sustainable Madagascan raffia
-Hand-coiled with love and care
Benefits of Argentium Silver
Argentium is a new generation of silver alloys which contains a larger percentage of silver than traditional sterling silver, with the benefit of the alloy agent - germanium.
The result is a metal that is more durable, brighter, and more tarnish resistant than sterling silver.
Be considerate to these beauties:
Avoid wearing in water to preserve the colour of the raffia (don't shower with them and remove when washing your
face.
Each stitch has been done with patience, time and love. Both earrings are not identical - but similar.
Earring findings have been hand made - please allow for variances in shape and size
