Perla Cuerda

Baroque pearl threader earrings

• Gold plated hardware
• South sea pearls
• 5.5 inches in length

Due to the handmade nature of these earrings, lengths, sizes and patterns may vary but will be very minimal.

Note: Pearls are baroque- naturally irregularly shaped and may not exactly match as a pair. Expect differences in shape, texture, colouration and size.

Care instructions: Keep your earrings away from direct sunlight and place them in a dry and enclosed container/space when not in use. Keep away from water, make-up and heat. Take extra care of earrings made of resin, shell, glass and ceramic. Avoid applying pressure or dropping from high places.

Arete:

Statement earrings handmade in the Philippines.

Formerly known as Tassels by Mia, this accessories line that started as a hobby has quickly grown into a brand solely focused on celebrating Philippine handwork and materials. All components are 100% sourced in the Philippines & their products are handmade in the Philippines by Mia Jeanjaquet and local artisans from Manila, Cebu and Bacolod. They continuously search for fresh native materials to incorporate into their designs & communities to collaborate with. One of Arete's core advocacies is building their own community of housewives & teen mum's who they then teach skills to be able to create their unique designs. Arete strongly believes in supporting local industries, communities & skill work, making Arete’s production their livelihood.

About Pag-asa Collective:

Pag-asa means 'hope' in Tagalog & the core purpose of this project is to try & give hope & to provide opportunities for local businesses and projects in the Philippines to sell their products here in New Zealand. The reason I have chosen the Philippines to support is because I am half-Filipino and see this as a way to connect with my roots and to help in some way with those from my Mom’s home country. This business is not-for-profit & everything made goes back into the communities; I have chosen to run the business in this way so that it never becomes about me & the core passion & purpose is always for the benefit of the communities.

After a lot of research I have chosen to partner with social enterprises that have a focus on working with local communities, victims of sex trafficking & place importance on sustainable & ethical work practises. Currently, we have partnered with 5 local businesses with the hope of partnering with more in the future.
