The Calabash Earrings draw on the gourd's enduring role as a vessel of nourishment and gathering. Each bead is shaped and finished by hand, then bound in brass wire coils before being hung from an elongated, swirl worked ear wire, a nod to traditional wirework techniques passed through generations of West and Southern African metalsmiths.
Office & Professional: Pair with a tailored blouse and neutral tones to let the earrings' organic shape stand out.
Evening & Statement: Wear with an off shoulder dress or wrap top to let them swing freely as the focal point.
Casual: Style with a linen shirt and denim for an effortless, earthy look that leans into their natural texture.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place inside their original pouch to protect the wood from moisture.
Cleaning: Gently wipe the wood and brass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoid water or harsh chemicals which can damage the wood finish.
Safety: Handle with care to prevent chipping or cracking of the wooden beads. Keep away from small children due to small parts and sharp wire ends.
