Silk + Coke Earrings - Smeria

€55,00

Earrings made from silk threads and natural pigment from coca leaves, handcrafted with delicate and sustainable workmanship. These earrings combine contemporary design with ancestral tradition: the upper part is hand-crocheted, while the silk threads flow soft and free at the end, creating a light, refined, and flowing effect.

Each pair is made with 100% pure silk, naturally dyed with pigment extracted from the sacred leaf of the Andes, enhanced through an innovative sustainable textile dyeing process. This method gives unique shades, demonstrating the versatility of the leaf as a material for textile design. On silk, the colors have a unique and elegant brilliance.

The earrings feature hypoallergenic stainless steel components, ideal even for sensitive skin, ensuring comfort and durability.

These creations are born in the heart of Cauca, Colombia, where local artisan women handcraft them thanks to an ethical project that promotes female empowerment and values the use of the coca leaf as a natural textile pigment. The valuable work that brings these fashion items to life embodies stories of tradition, sustainability, and positive social impact.

These natural silk jewels are a unique piece born from ethical design, embodying the encounter between beauty, tradition, and responsible innovation. At Chisakui, we deeply love this project because it uses a raw material that has long been criminalized, demonstrating only some of the many benefits it can bring to a community, depending solely on human action and use. A true jewel and gift from Mother Earth.

SIZE / COLOR
CURE

Silk is a protein fiber of animal origin—produced by the silkworm—characterized by an unmistakable luster and unparalleled softness. Its delicate nature requires careful and constant care.

Washing

Hand wash in cold water or delicate cycle in washing machine (max 30°C)

Detergent

Specific for silk or delicates, never alkaline products

Drying

In the shade, on a flat surface. Never tumble dry

Ironing

Inside out, low temperature, with a damp cloth in between

⚠ Attention: Always avoid rubbing wet silk: the fibers are extremely vulnerable when soaked in water. Gently blot with a clean towel. Do not expose silk to direct sunlight for prolonged periods: it will yellow and lose its luster.
