Raffia grape earrings
Grapes go out in bunches, even after dark.
- Natural raffia, hand-dyed the artisanal way. It is the strands of natural raffia that snap easily as they are worked, which makes the crochet slow and precise - but once crocheted, woven or sewn, the piece becomes very strong and long-lasting, and barely sensitive to water. Each fruit is also stuffed with its own raffia offcuts, never synthetic foam. Crochet is one of the only techniques in the world that no machine can replicate - these jewels could not be made any other way. Set on gold-tone stainless steel hoops, 8 mm to 1 cm.
- Each grape crocheted on its own, then knotted into the cluster - all by hand.
- Crocheted then assembled into jewellery, piece by piece, by hand.
- An ultra-light jewel that makes itself felt - right there on the ear, yet no weight at all even after several hours.
- Only a few pairs, made at the hook; each cluster counts its grapes its own way.
Description

The story
Better together
Grapes prefer company. Even when joining the YZA wardrobe, they insisted on staying in a bunch. A neatly organised little group that moves to the rhythm of whoever wears it.
An ultra-light jewel that makes itself felt - right there on the ear, yet no weight at all even after several hours.
Crocheted then assembled into jewellery, piece by piece, by hand.
Raffia needs no special care. Avoid water; if it gets wet, dry in open air away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure to preserve the colours. The gold-tone hoops are stainless steel.
Packaging : Gift-ready: the piece comes in a pretty black box signed YZA, and the first name of the artisan who made it is written on the hand tag.
