Tamia ✻ Inga Beaded Earrings

100% Handcrafted | One-of-a-Kind | Fair Trade | Indigenous-Made

These round earrings are hand-beaded by Inga Awaska, a beading and cultural workshop made up of Indigenous Inga Women in Santiago, Putumayo.

The shape of these earrings reminds me of a raindrop-the word Tamia translates to "lluvia" or "rain" in the Inga language! The symbol at the top is called Uigsa Warmi, meaning the womb of a woman.
