The handmade Inga butterfly-shaped glass bead earrings are small woven works crafted entirely by hand by indigenous artisans from Putumayo, Colombia. Inspired by the beauty of the surrounding nature, these earrings reproduce the delicate shape of butterflies, a symbol of transformation and freedom.

Made with high-quality glass beads and intricately woven with extreme precision, they measure approximately 5 cm in height and 7.5 cm in width, making them lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. The combination of vibrant colors and meticulous details makes them perfect for adding a touch of color and elegance to any outfit.

Each pair is unique, an expression of the culture and tradition of the Inga people, who have passed down the art of bead weaving for generations.

Glass beads are small decorative elements made from molten glass, available in endless shapes, colors, and finishes. Used for making necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories, glass beads are physically robust, but require attention to the mounting thread — often silk, nylon, or cotton — which is the most vulnerable point of the accessory. Chemicals in cosmetics and perfumes are the main enemies of glass luster

Care and Maintenance of Glass Beads

Cleaning

Lightly damp soft cloth. For deep cleaning: lukewarm water with a drop of neutral detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

Drying

Carefully dry the joints: stagnant water weakens the thread over time, especially if made of silk or cotton.

Storage

Store separately to prevent scratches between beads. Glass surfaces can chip if bumped.

Treatment

Avoid perfumes, hairsprays, and creams: chemicals dull the beads and deteriorate the thread.

Inspection

Periodically check the integrity of the thread, especially at the knots. At the first sign of weakness, have it restrung.

⚠️ Caution: Wear the accessory only after applying perfumes and cosmetics, not before. Chemical residues accumulate on the beads and reduce their luster over time.

Additional Information

Silk Thread: If the thread is silk (as in Silk accessories), avoid any contact with water: wet silk weakens and deforms easily.

Bathing and Sports: Always remove accessories before swimming, playing sports, or entering a sauna.

Restringing: A thread in good condition is essential for the safety of the accessory. Have the knots checked every 12–18 months by a craftsman.
