Coix Seed Earrings Blue / Vintage Glass Beads / Pierced or Clip-on

These earrings are crafted by linking coix seeds, harvested from a Karen village, to resemble natural fruits. We offer a total of six color variations, combining colorful vintage glass beads and Karen silver beads. This "blue" variant features blue beads that were once owned by a hill tribe in Northern Thailand. The coix seeds boast a beautiful, lustrous texture, reminiscent of seashells. The version with vibrantly colored glass beads brings a cheerful mood when worn. The Karen silver version offers a more understated elegance. They are versatile pieces, perfect for everyday outings as well as resort-style ensembles. ■ Handmade Silver by Thai 🇹🇭 Karen Tribe Unlike typical sterling silver (92.5%), Karen silver is characterized by its even higher purity. Its color blends naturally with the skin, enhancing your inherent beauty with a gentle touch. As each piece is handmade, no two items with the same motif will be exactly alike. We hope you will enjoy the unique and endearing expressions crafted with delicate artistry, and the subtle individuality they bring. --- ▽ Click here for a list of all earrings, clip-on earrings, and ear cuffs https://pinkoi.com/store/chikuchikutong?category=2&subcategory=203&catp=group_2%2Cgroup_2_0%2Clisting_203 --- <Size (approx.)> Width 2.3cm (0.9 inches) Height 1.7cm (0.67 inches) *Size does not include earring/clip-on hardware <Materials> - Beads: Coix seeds, Vintage glass beads - Metal pins, Metal clasps https://lzd-img-global.slatic.net/g/p/8f283339feb0e6bd70cd5eb29aaeec05.jpg_2200x2200q80.jpg_.webp Both standard orders and gift wrapping are presented in the style shown in the photos.
