These earrings feature hand-painted gumnuts by the Aboriginal Women of Camel Camp from the Utopia region of Australia. These gumnuts have been decorated with red stripes and white dots on black background - they remind us of lady bugs!
When we collected these unique beads, they still smelt of the smokey fire the women sat around as they painted these gumnuts.
Australian jeweller, Christine Smalley complete this design by adding wooden beads and ear hooks for the Breathing Colours Collection.
