Gia Earrings, Orange
Description
The striking and playful Gia earrings are assembled by hand from small glass beads. Glass beads are a traditional jewelry material in Nepal, and the beads used in the jewelry are purchased from local entrepreneurs at the Kathmandu market. The color of the earrings is bright orange.
The metal parts of the earrings are brass and nickel-free, but can irritate very sensitive skin.
The earrings are made from individual glass beads that are braided together. One pair of Gia earrings has up to around 1500 glass beads! Up to 5 jewelers participate in the production of different parts of the jewelry, and it takes about 2 hours to make one pair of earrings in total. Read more about jewelry making here .
