Jicara Tlacoyal Earrings

Handcrafted in Pinotepa de Don Luis, Oaxaca, these natural gourd earrings showcase the artistry of skilled Mexican artisans. Each pair is carved from sustainably harvested jícara gourds, featuring intricate depictions of regional flora and fauna—birds, rabbits, sea animals, and wildflowers native to Oaxaca.

The creation process honors traditional methods: gourds are carefully hollowed, cleaned, sanded, and hand-carved with precision before receiving a protective finish. The result is a distinctive, eco-conscious pair of earrings that brings authentic Mexican craftsmanship and natural beauty to every look.

At the center of each earring rests a Tlacoyal pom-pom — a handmade adornment crafted from hand-spun wool, dyed using traditional colorants ranging from plant-based pigments to vibrant synthetics. The Tlacoyal is a symbol of Oaxacan identity, and its presence here bridges generations of textile and jewelry artistry into a single wearable heirloom.

No two pairs are exactly alike. That is the nature — and the beauty — of true handcraft.
