Gooseberry Glass & Moonstone Earrings

Gooseberry beads looped and knotted on a leather cord, spaced by Thai silver beads, and centered with moonstone. Named after a visionary and intuitive friend.

On the island of Java, artisans have been glassmaking for more than a thousand years. Java gooseberry glass beads are increasingly rare as cities encroach on the smaller village where makers produce. Varying sizes and patterns indicate the unique handiwork, making each a piece of historical art in its own right. 

Components

Gooseberry glass beads, Hill tribe silver beads, moonstone, leather, and sterling silver ear hooks.

Properties
