These Hand-Painted Cedarwood Dangle Earrings by Meliza Tzay are a whimsical and enchanting tribute to the mystical forests of Guatemala. Inspired by the region's natural landscapes, Meliza meticulously hand-paints intricate trees onto each piece of cedarwood, bringing a touch of nature's magic to her design. The palette of black and beige hues creates a sophisticated and earthy feel, which is beautifully complemented by pretty tassels in matching shades. This unique accessory pays homage to the beloved forests and offers a stylish connection to the natural world. Each pair is a little piece of art, signed by the artist, and perfect for the nature lover who cherishes authentic, handcrafted beauty.
Meliza Tzay, from Patzún, Guatemala, discovered her artistic voice through resilience and family ties. Though she trained as a teacher, her journey into creativity began alongside her sister, crafting necklaces in their father’s workshop. Inspired by their success, they expanded into painted mirrors, where Meliza uncovered her passion for painting, channeling her emotions into vibrant works on wood. Soon, she began creating painted jewelry — earrings and necklaces that celebrate Guatemala’s textile heritage and honor the strength of indigenous women. Each piece is a tribute to her mother, sister, and the many women in her community who balance tradition, work, and education. Hand-painted and deeply personal, her creations embody both beauty and cultural pride. For Meliza, art is a way to unite her family, overcome challenges, and share Guatemala’s stories with the world, one piece at a time.
Handcrafted from cedarwood with acrylic threads and 925 sterling silver hooks, these earrings measure 4.5 inches L x 0.8 inches W x 0.2 inches D. As a hand-crafted item, color, size, and motif may vary slightly.
