Batik Bone Ear rings
Just by looking at the earrings, it probably difficult to believe they are made of animal bones. But that's exactly the material that's been used. Its cleaned up, carved into shape then polished to produce the fine jewellery seen here. Bone is popular due to its light weight and its affordability. To some, use of bone in jewellery could be said to be "environment friendly". Beaded Earrings
Earrings made from tiny beads and brass hooks making them extremely light in weight. The glossy finishing on the colored beads is quite attractive to the eye, while their unobtrusiveness complements a wide variety of dressing. Threaded Ear rings
Threaded earrings: made from a continuous length of thread spooled around a small solid object as seen in the examples above. The thread is sturdy enough to avoid potentially embarrassing scenes where the ear ring comes apart at crucial moments. Hooks are forged from brass. Variety Ear rings
More ear rings, from different materials. From the variety available at Afrikapamoja, it becomes clear that almost any material could be turned into earrings. The pieces above are made from beads, bone and carved wooden pieces. |
