A Bold Statement in Wearable Art
We are thrilled to introduce one of our most innovative collections yet—a line of ultra-lightweight earrings that are as bold as they are effortless to wear. Inspired by the iconic style of Pablo Picasso, this collection embodies movement, abstraction, and the perfect interplay of color and form.
Each pair features an intricate design of “broken” lines, filled with vibrant, hand-selected hues that create a striking visual contrast. Available in five different colorways, these earrings are crafted using our signature handmade ceramic beads, ensuring that no two pairs are exactly alike.
Handcrafted with Tradition and Vision
Our jewelry is more than an accessory—it is a celebration of Guatemala’s rich artistic traditions, skillfully brought to life by our talented Mayan artisans. Each piece is made entirely by hand, using time-honored techniques that have been passed down for generations.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
This collection draws deeply from the artistic movements of the early 20th century, particularly the fragmented, expressive forms of Picasso’s Cubist works. The bold, deconstructed lines reflect the idea that beauty lies in imperfection, while the colors—carefully selected for each earring—symbolize emotion, energy, and self-expression.
The five colorways in this collection each tell their own story (from left to right):
🌊 Azure Luxe – A mesmerizing mix of deep blues, aqua, lavender, and soft sand tones, reminiscent of ocean waves at sunset. This pair captures the tranquil yet powerful beauty of water and sky.
🍷 Bordeaux Allure – A bold fusion of rich magentas, deep greens, fiery oranges, and dark blue, reminiscent of a vibrant sunset over rolling vineyards. This playful yet sophisticated mix brings energy and confidence to any outfit.
🌿 Earthly Harmony – A blend of warm terracotta, olive green, deep brown, and pops of golden yellow, evoking the richness of nature and the balance between earth and sky. This pair is perfect for those who love grounded, natural tones with a touch of vibrancy.
⚡ Metallic Mosaic – A striking black, white, and soft beige combination, creating a high-contrast, modern look. Inspired by fragmented patterns in cubist art, this variant is perfect for lovers of monochrome elegance with an artistic edge.
✨ Refined Radiance – A harmonious blend of rich and deep colors, black, and a golden touch. Understated yet captivating, this variant is ideal for those who appreciate quiet luxury and timeless elegance.
Each colorway is handcrafted in small batches, ensuring that no two pairs are exactly alike. Whether you're drawn to the earthy warmth of Earthly Harmony or the bold energy of Bordeaux Allure, there's a pair that speaks to your artistic soul.
The Beading Process: A Labor of Love
At the heart of every piece are our signature ceramic beads—each one sculpted, fired, and painted entirely by hand. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, our beads are made in small batches, ensuring exclusivity and the highest quality.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how these exquisite earrings come to life:
1️⃣ Sculpting the Beads – Our artisans use the invented method of Don Jaime and his dad to shape the raw clay into tiny, uniform beads, a method that requires patience, precision, and is a secret family recipe!
2️⃣ Firing the Clay – The beads are then kiln-fired at high temperatures, giving them strength and durability.
3️⃣ Hand-Dyed – Each bead is carefully dyed with colors that match the chosen palette, bringing the design to life.
4️⃣ Assembling the Earrings – The beads are strung together, following the abstract patterns inspired by Picasso’s art.
Ultra-Lightweight for All-Day Comfort
One of the standout features of this collection is its feather-light feel. Despite their bold appearance, these earrings are designed to be virtually weightless, ensuring all-day comfort without compromising on impact. Whether you’re wearing them to a gallery opening, a casual day out, or a special occasion, they will move effortlessly with you.
Meet the Artisans Behind the Collection
Every earring tells a story—not just of artistic inspiration, but of the skilled hands that bring it to life. Our Mayan artisan partners, who have perfected the art of beading, pour their dedication into every single piece. Their craftsmanship ensures that each pair of earrings is a miniature work of art, deeply connected to the traditions of Guatemala.
