Each earring is brick stitched from a beginning of 4 cube beads at the center and then seed beads added to each corner and precisely worked outward. Each earring dangles 1 inch long.
I make these in numerous colors. . and each one is unique, when ordering, please tell me your color preferences and I will send you a photo before sending your order.
Each set of earrings takes me two hours to make, give or take. I make every pair differently, some have copper earring hooks because they go with the color scheme, the pair pictured here has sterling silver hooks, when ordering please state which earring hooks you would like me to use.
I found this in Wiki about an original God's Eye Square.
A God's eye is a yarn weaving and a Huichol spiritual object.
The Ojo de Dios (God's eye) is a ritual tool, magical object and cultural symbol evoking the weaving motif and its spiritual associations. For the Huichol peoples of northwestern Mexico, the God's Eye is symbolic of the power of seeing and understanding that which is unknown and unknowable, The Mystery. The four points represent the elemental processes earth, fire, air, and water. this is a spiritual project also.
The Ojo de Dios, or God's Eye, is a simple or complex weaving made across two or more sticks and is thought to have originated with the Huichol Indians of Jalisco, Mexico. The Huichol call their God's eyes Sikuli, which means "the power to see and understand things unknown." When a child is born, the central eye is woven by the father, then one eye is added for every year of the child's life until the child reaches the age of five. Original Huichol Crosses are extremely rare to come by. There are many that are being made for the tourist market, but they do not carry the same traditional and spiritual significance.
