Large Paiche Fish Scale Earrings - made by artisans from the Peruvian Amazon
These unique earrings will connect you with the Amazon River like no other craft because artisans have carved them from the scale of the large iconic paiche fish.
One model features a large triangle with an achira seed above, quill dangles and silver filigree and a turquoise dot in the middle. The other model is a large teardrop with an achira seed above, quill dangles, silver filigree on the scale and a large huayruru seed hanging in the middle.
These earrings are made by expert artisans from Iquitos who have worked with the Center for Amazon Community Ecology for more than ten years. The French hooks are made with non-allergenic material.
Please remember that these handmade crafts may vary from the photos shown.
Model: ARE10G55Z19 (triangle); ARE10G90Z57 (teardrop)
Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
