These Hand-Tatted Dangle Earrings in Poppy from Guatemala by Independent Artisans are a discreet yet vibrant design that showcases the artistry of tatting, or frivolite. The intricate, handcrafted lacework is created from poppy-red nylon thread, accented with petite sterling silver beads that add a subtle gleam. This piece is a beautiful example of how Gladys Pichola keeps this traditional 19th-century technique alive, crafting feminine, lightweight earrings that feel both unique and timeless.
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 nylon thread and accented with .925 sterling silver beads. They hang from .925 sterling silver hooks and have a high-polish finish. Each earring measures 1.6 inches L x 1.1 inches W.
