Cherry Beaded Earrings

Beaded cherries, almost good enough to eat! Cheer up your wardrobe with these or give them to someone who will appreciate how special they are. Handmade with glass beads and gold-plated stainless steel earwires.  Earrings measure 1.5" at their widest point and have a 2" hang.  Handmade in a fair-trade workshop in Guatemala. The magic begins in Guatemala, where the husband-and-wife team who lead Altiplano work with a co-op of Mayan people in Lake Atitlan. Lovingly crafted and working together their work with Altiplano helps provide a positive future for their families. Each piece has a unique journey, from the hands of the makers to being chosen by the wearer as a creative and mutual form of self-expression. For 30 years, Altiplano has brought fair wages and long-term employment to the Mayan people they work with. Their continued regional partnerships support education, family nutrition, and the environment.
