01/06/2020

 These earrings have been handmade by myself using beads and findings from Fair Trade suppliers. Mzuribeads are top quality recycled paper beads, handmade by a cooperative of women in Uganda. The beads are made by cutting triangular strips from recycled magazines and posters. Each strip is rolled one by one around a needle and held in place with a dab of glue. Once the beads rolled they are strung up, varnished and left to dry for 3-5 days. They are then finished and left with a glossy and water resistant finish. Karen Hill Tribe Silver is 99.5% pure fine silver all findings are made by hand by the Hill Tribe people in Thailand we buy these findings directly from the producers
