Bandul Stud Drop Earrings

$125.00
Details

The Bandul is a sculptural handmade gold drop earring that pairs an engraved rectangular post — etched with ancestral geometric patterns inspired by Colombian indigenous culture — with a clean, open circle drop. Crafted from brass and finished in 24-karat gold, this artisan earring sits beautifully for day or evening wear. Bold in concept, refined in execution, and ethically made in Medellín, Colombia.

Dimensions: 1.5 in. drop x 1 in

Handmade in Colombia. Individually handcrafted, every piece reflects the artisan’s touch. Variations are not flaws—they’re part of what makes each creation uniquely yours.

Care Guide

Avoid contact with salt water, chlorine, excessive moisture and sunlight. Sunlight may change the color of some stones and metals.

For silver, gold or gold-plated jewelry, use a soft, dry cloth to polish gently. If necessary, gently wash with warm water and neutral soap. Dry with a clean cloth.

Honoring the Land, One Thread at a Time

Meet Laura and Ana María — two sisters from Medellín, Colombia who have spent years perfecting an extraordinary technique: hand-stitching and starching cotton thread onto 24-karat gold-plated brass, each piece finished by local women (mothers and formerly incarcerated) whose skilled hands bring every earring, bracelet, and brooch to life.
