Tan Sloth

Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet crafts these dangle earrings from tan glass beads and sterling silver hooks, characterizing adorable baby sloths as they grasp the branches of the rainforest. With the goal of creating jobs and opportunities for local women through her small workshop, Mirian dedicates herself to the creation of beaded jewelry, a traditional art that she learned from her grandparents while growing up near Lake Atitlan.
