Raffia watermelon earrings
A slice of summer on either side of your face.
- 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.
- Pink and green come from raffia thread knotted by hand, the pips embroidered on top - no printing.
- 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 each month - each pair has its own personality.
Description
Watermelon-shaped raffia earrings that bring a splash of colour to even the most understated outfit. The motif adds a graphic accent beside your face. Wear them with a white shirt to let the fruit take centre stage, or with bold colours for a playful head-to-toe look.
The story
Summer goes to your head
At the market, watermelon is shared in generous slices. At YZA, it comes in pairs and sits beside your face. A way to keep summer going, even when everyone else has decided to move on.
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.
