Curandera Earrings

She who sees what others cannot.

Drop earrings designed to stand alone. 

A hand-painted agate bead bears Dzi-inspired markings — the ancient eye symbols of Tibetan and Himalayan protective tradition, carried for centuries as amulets of sight and safeguarding. A small striated agate round sits below it, and a saffron gold silk tassel falls from an etched silver cap.

In Clarissa Pinkola Estés' telling, the Curandera is the healer-seer — the woman who operates at the threshold between the visible and invisible, who reads what others cannot. These earrings carry her iconography.
