Description
Striking Fair trade earrings created from a combination of natural coconut shell hoops, intricate bamboo drops, black Acai seed beads and silver-coloured metal inlay.
• Coconut shell, bamboo and acai seed earrings. The acai seeds come from the acai palm (Euterpe Oleracea) that grows wild in Central and South America.
The berries are edible and have a high nutritional content. These beads are made from the dried seeds which have been dyed and drilled.
• The hooks are made from nickel-free base metal and therefore hypoallergenic.
• Part of a range of eco themed products. (Click on the “Bamboo” Tag above to reveal the selection. And check out the “You may also like” product suggestions below.)
Handmade by skilled Fair Trade artisans in Cuzco, Peru.
DIMENSIONS – the drop from the base of the hook is 8 cm x width 4 cm approximately.
Did you know?
There are over 1000 different species of bamboo around the world!
The hollow stems and the fact that it grows so straight and fast means it is an ideal raw material for use in construction as well as craft work and jewellery.
Bamboo is a traditional crop and is easy and fast to grow – up to 3 feet each day – and it produces 35% more oxygen than other trees.
In fact, one hectare can absorb up to 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year!
And it is grown without pesticides for building, cooking and crafts, so truly an environmentally friendly crop.
Bamboo has a religious significance for the growers – many villages have had their on small plantations for centuries.
