IONA earrings in Japanese seed beads

Named for the cloisters of Iona Abbey in Scotland, where this group's founding designer first learned to sing in South African languages. One of the subtlest pairs of earrings they make, these are perfect for people who love beadwork and like their jewellery understated.

They are created by a group of beaders in Cape Town, in South Africa, whose speciality is their choice of tonal colours, always using geometric forms and the best possible quality beads, from Japan. Little works of art.
