These Handcrafted Purple and Pink Glass Beaded Dangle Earrings 'Purple Signals' by Independent Artisans are an enchanting and charming accessory. Designed by Hands of Atitlán, the earrings feature a geometric shape enriched by a combination of purple and pink glass beads. The piece reflects the organization's mission to offer education, empowerment, and fair employment to break cycles of poverty, and is a beautiful representation of artistry, resilience, and social transformation.
Hands of Atitlán, founded in 2014 by Dolores Quievac and Diego Petzey, is a social enterprise rooted in the Tz'utujil village of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. Both founders grew up in families of textile artisans, inheriting generations of knowledge and beginning their own creative journeys as children. Today, the collective trains and supports more than thirty artisans, primarily women, in producing handmade jewelry that reflects the natural beauty and cultural richness of Lake Atitlán. Their mission extends beyond craft, offering education, empowerment, and fair employment to break cycles of poverty. The organization also runs community programs for youth and leads reforestation campaigns to sustain the local environment. Inspired by love, life, and nature, Dolores and Diego envision Hands of Atitlán as a future technological learning center that uplifts women and strengthens communities. Each piece embodies artistry, resilience, and social transformation.
Handcrafted in Guatemala with glass beads and .925 sterling silver hooks, these hook earrings have a high-polish finish. Each earring measures 2.4 inches in length and 1.4 inches in width. Colors may vary slightly.
