Coix Seed Berry Earrings | Vintage Glass Beads | Pierced Earrings or Clip-on Earrings

These earrings are made by stringing coix seeds, harvested from a Karen village, together like berries. We offer a total of six colors, each combining colorful vintage glass beads with Karen silver beads. This "Green" version features green beads that once belonged to the hill tribe people of Northern Thailand. The lustrous texture of the coix seeds, reminiscent of shells, is also beautifully showcased. The version with vibrant glass beads will brighten your mood when worn. The Karen silver version, with its calm elegance, offers a more chic look. They can be enjoyed for a wide range of occasions, from everyday outings to resort styles. ■ Handmade Silver from the Thai Karen Tribe 🇹🇭 This silver is characterized by its even higher purity than standard sterling silver (92.5%). Its color blends naturally with the skin, enhancing your natural beauty. As each piece is handmade, no two items with the same motif are exactly alike. We hope you will enjoy the unique and endearing expressions with delicate craftsmanship, and the subtle individuality of each piece. --- ▽ Click here for a list of all earrings, pierced earrings, and ear cuffs https://pinkoi.com/store/chikuchikutong?category=2&subcategory=203&catp=group_2%2Cgroup_2_0%2Clisting_203 --- <Size (approx.)> Width: 2.3 cm (0.9 inches) Height: 1.7 cm (0.67 inches) *Size does not include earring/pierced earring hardware <Materials> - Beads: Coix seeds, vintage glass beads - Metal pins, metal findings https://lzd-img-global.slatic.net/g/p/8f283339feb0e6bd70cd5eb29aaeec05.jpg_2200x2200q80.jpg_.webp Our standard orders and gift wrapping are presented as shown in the photos.
