Handmade Statement Earrings with Aguacatán Textile & Graduated Clay Bead Fringe, burnt orange square

Inspired by the Tail of Guatemala's National Bird 🦜

Our Quetzal Tail Earrings are inspired by the graceful, flowing tail feathers of the resplendent quetzal, Guatemala's national bird. The cascading graduated bead fringe creates beautiful movement with every step, giving these statement earrings their distinctive silhouette.

Each pair combines authentic Mayan textile traditions with contemporary artisan jewelry, celebrating the craftsmanship of Guatemala.

Authentic Ceremonial Textile from Aguacatán

The textile panel is made from authentic ceremonial weaving from Aguacatán, Guatemala, a town celebrated for creating some of the most treasured contemporary textiles in Mayan culture. The intricate geometric patterns are inspired by the sky, stars, nature, and the Mayan worldview, preserving generations of weaving traditions in every piece.

Handmade Clay Beads

Flowing beneath the textile panel is our signature graduated fringe of handmade ceramic clay beads. Each bead is individually handcrafted in our family workshop in Antigua, Guatemala, where natural Guatemalan clay is shaped by hand, air-dried for at least seven days, kiln-fired for over 24 hours, and hand-painted before being carefully assembled into each pair.

The graduated bead fringe creates elegant movement while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable all-day wear.
