Snowflake Thread and Glass Bead Earrings/Piercings Gray Embroidery Ñandutí

These earrings/piercings are inspired by the "snowflake," a motif that evokes the feeling of winter, and are crafted from thread and beads. Though snow is cold, the use of thread lends these accessories a comforting warmth. The delicate intricacy woven by the threads perfectly complements the delicate nature of a snowflake, resulting in unique and stylish ear adornments. Pair them with black or white monotone tops for a chic and sophisticated look. Combine them with cool-toned dark colors like blue or navy for a sharp, modern impression. They are incredibly lightweight, so you can wear them comfortably without putting strain on your earlobes. (Weight per earring: approx. 1g. For reference, a single 1-yen coin weighs 1g.) These make a perfect gift for the winter season. ♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔ The thread motif is created using Ñandutí, a traditional embroidery technique from Paraguay in South America. The Ñandutí portion is stiffened with adhesive, giving it a delicate appearance while maintaining its shape for everyday wear. (Please avoid getting them wet.) Ñandutí accessories allow you to enjoy the texture of the thread, its delicate craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and the diverse patterns woven by the threads. ♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔∴∵∴♔ We experimented with shapes, weaving methods, and thread thickness to achieve the perfect snowflake appearance. Light gray thread is used, accented with six metal beads, and a transparent drop-shaped bead is woven below the motif. The transparent drop-shaped bead is inspired by melting snowflakes.

Ñandutí, in the indigenous Guaraní language, means "spider web." True to its name, it is a delicate handicraft made with thread. It involves stretching warp threads and then weaving or knotting other threads to create patterns. The embroidery is stiffened with adhesive, and once detached from the fabric, it becomes Ñandutí. It feels quite firm and holds its shape well, while retaining the soft texture of the thread. When made into accessories, the characteristic lace-like transparency of Ñandutí is very charming. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ★ These are delicately crafted. Please be careful of snags or pulls. ★ Individual sensitivities to metal allergies vary. Please note that we cannot guarantee that all individuals will be free from allergic reactions. ★ Ñandutí is made by stiffening embroidery with adhesive and detaching it from the fabric. Therefore, it is susceptible to water. Please be careful to avoid getting it wet. If it does get wet, gently press it with a towel to absorb moisture, then allow it to dry. ★ We strive to make the colors in the photos as close to the actual product as possible. However, please be aware that colors may vary slightly due to your device and lighting conditions during photography. ★ We are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. ★ We take great care in crafting each piece, but as they are handmade, there may be slight variations in alignment, shape, or individual differences.
