Description

In Japanese, "arata" means "new"!

These earrings are handcrafted from Japanese glass seed beads with a needle and thread, one bead at a time, using a handweaving technique called "peyote stitch." The beadcaps and leverbacks are all sterling silver.

Your earrings will arrive in a gift box, with a signed card containing care instructions and information about the design and materials used.
