Why Knotted Earrings Weigh Almost Nothing
Pick up a pair of cotton fringe earrings and the first surprise is the absence of weight. Fine cord at the 1 mm and 2 mm end of the macramé range puts almost no pull on an earlobe, which is why long shapes are wearable here that would ache in metal. A brushed fringe drop can hang past the jaw and still be forgotten by lunchtime. Leaf, feather and wood-bead designs apply the same idea with a firmer outline.
Bracelets and the Knots Behind Them
The bracelets show their construction plainly: a Celtic pattern of interlocking loops, a zigzag built from alternating square knots, plain rope cuffs, and colored versions in blue and warmer boho tones. Length is stated in inches for each bracelet. Cotton has a little give, and a sliding closure covers a range of wrists — useful when a piece is going to someone whose size you cannot politely ask for.
Keeping Cotton Jewelry Looking New
Cotton absorbs. Put perfume and lotion on before the earrings go in rather than after, and take fringed pieces off before swimming. Store them lying flat in a box instead of hooked over a stand, where fringe tangles and takes a set. If it does flatten, a few passes with a fine comb from the tips upward will restore the drape. Designs built around wooden beads are gathered in the beaded jewelry selection.
