These boho beauties will make the perfect gift for all your bridesmaids!
Fashioned from recycled papers from Nepal, India and Italy, these cuties will grace the ears of all your friends on your special day.
While the center paper is made from recycled cotton rag pulp, the gold bezel paper is sourced from a company near Venice, Italy which has been making paper since the 1800s.
Trimmed with twinkly rhinestones, these versatile, lightweight and durable designs will make a beautiful transition from office to romantic evening to pairing them with jeans for a casual weekend look.
Designs are one-of-kind and may include slight imperfections (paper is hand molded and manipulated) which adds to the charm.
A SPECIAL OFFER TO ALL THE BRIDES (and really anyone else who requests this): I will provide hand-crafted gift enclosures for your girls made from some of my favorite papers from around the world.
Surgical steel ear wires.
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:
BEAD: 1/2" wide, 1/4" deep
MY PROCESS
1. Strips of paper are coated in a non toxic sealer, rolled and pressed into a tiny mold that I made.
2. Creating two halves, these pieces are then covered in a favorite paper pattern.
3. Each half is wrapped, on the side, in an Italian gold crepe paper that becomes the "bezel".
4. One half of the bead becomes the front piece and is surround by rhinestone chain.
5. A finding is attached, the two halves are joined together, and the finished bead is connected to an ear wire.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The paper is protected using a moisture-resistant, non-toxic sealant. While product is water repellent, it is not waterproof. However, I live in the Pacific Northwest and wear mine in the rain all the time. If product does get wet, just gently pat and set out to dry.
PACKAGING
Items will arrive on a Coco Delay jewelry card in a pretty organza gift bag.
