Guatemalan designer Gladys Pichola specializes in the intricate art of tatting, a rare and delicate technique she learned from her sister’s godmother who introduced her to European designs. After months of practice, she began creating jewelry that caught the eye of a well-known Guatemalan fashion designer, whose runway shows featured Gladys’s accessories. This recognition deepened her passion for tatting and inspired her to refine her artistry further. Drawing inspiration from history books and antique European patterns, Gladys creates necklaces and bracelets that feel timeless yet unique. Despite her growing reputation, she values humility and remains dedicated to helping others around her. For Gladys, each piece of jewelry is not just adornment but a celebration of heritage and craft. Her work honors forgotten techniques, making them relevant and cherished in today’s world.
Handcrafted in Guatemala, these dangle earrings are made from green nylon thread with a high-polish finish and hang from .925 sterling silver hooks. Each earring measures 3.1 inches L x 1.7 inches W.
