YANESHA CHIP EARRINGS

Product Details

THE YANESHA CHIP EARRINGS with Peruvian sterling silver posts are a modern organic eco jewelry design that accents your style for day or night. They have been sculpted with rounded bottom edges and detailed in sterling silver top frames and posts. Unique hand sculpted earrings made of sustainable wood from Yanesha managed forests. This beautiful wood is a darker brown shade of the Higuerilla tree. Designed by designer Nora Carrasco of PaTS in collaboration with Yanesha artisans for her brand Amazonikas, that beautifully incorporates modern design.

By using managed forest wood, they are able to save trees from being illegally logged. Instead of selling an ancient tree solely for its wood, select trees are chosen to make a variety of products including jewelry and furniture. Each tree translates into about $2,000 for the Yanesha instead of a mere $100 for its wood. This helps protect their forests and generates a sustainable income for their community.
