These Handmade Crystal and Pine Needle Earrings 'Forest Medusa' are a dramatic and organic accessory. Designed by Laura Villalvazo, the earrings are crafted from tightly wrapped pine needles gathered from Jalisco forests. They are accompanied by 14k gold-plated copper posts and brilliant faceted crystals. The piece, which preserves Mexico's cultural heritage, is a beautiful representation of the artisan's social mission to empower women through sustainable craft.
From the forests of Jalisco, Laura Villalvazo transforms ocoxal—the dry leaf of the pine—into organic, aromatic jewelry. Growing up surrounded by the Sierra de Tapalpa, del Tigre, and Amula, Laura learned from local artisans how to prepare and weave the needles into durable, scented designs. What began as a family project in a small improvised workshop has grown into a social mission: to empower women in her community through sustainable craft. Each piece requires patience, creativity, and resilience, with the flexible pine fibers woven tightly to achieve lasting strength. For Laura, working with ocoxal is more than design—it is a way to preserve Mexico’s cultural heritage, honor nature, and create opportunities for mothers who seek financial independence. With every necklace and bracelet, she shares the scent of pine and the story of her land.
Handcrafted in Mexico with pine needles, 14k gold-plated copper, and crystals, these post earrings have a high-polish finish. Each earring measures 3.6 inches in length and 1.6 inches in width.
