Suspended from sleek, silver-plated studs are woven discs fabricated with a natural fiber, locally referred to as rapa, that's been sustainably hand-foraged and processed. These artful earrings are crafted by artisans in Papua New Guinea using ancient weaving techniques passed down through generations of women.
