These Geometric-Inspired Wood and Sterling Silver Button Earrings 'Metropolitan Forest' by Independent Artisans transform nature into an avant-garde festival of geometric figures and sylvan elegance. Designed by Mexican artisan Martha Vargas, these button earrings feature high-polished sterling silver square and triangle pendants that explore the forest through a minimalist lens. Accents of dark brown bocote wood add an earthy contrast, making the piece a perfect blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty. These earrings are a reflection of Martha's dedication to recovering traditional techniques and supporting indigenous communities.
Hailing from Michoacán, this artisan was inspired by the region’s master craftsmen in silver, wood, and other materials. Trained at the School of Fine Arts, she later dedicated herself to working with indigenous communities in Michoacán, Zacatecas, and Morelos, helping to recover traditional techniques and provide sustainable livelihoods. Her jewelry incorporates silver and wood, often sourced as recycled materials, and crafted with durability and authenticity in mind. Despite personal challenges, including health struggles, she has continued to design, produce, and teach with resilience and purpose. Her greatest fulfillment comes from supporting artisans in rural areas, guiding them to work collaboratively and develop lasting skills. Each of her pieces reflects both cultural preservation and creative innovation, ensuring that Mexico’s artisanal heritage continues to thrive.
Handcrafted in Mexico, these post earrings are made from .925 sterling silver and bocote wood. They measure 0.8 inches long by 0.4 inches wide and have a high polish finish. The wood grain and color can vary slightly.
