Chili Pepper Earrings

$69.00

This earrings are hand-knotted by Turkish women artisans using iğne oyası (needle lace); a sculptural lace technique from Anatolia. Each motif is built knot-by-knot with nothing but a needle, thread, and time.

+10 Hours to Make: Each set requires over 10 hours of hand-knotting, creating a truly artisan piece

Authentic Anatolian Technique: Hand-knotted using the twisted stitch method; never crocheted, tatted, or machine-made. This technique has been practiced in Anatolia for centuries, but few artisans keep it alive today. A rare find for the right eyes

Made to Last: Viscose thread holds its shape and vibrant color far better than silk, ensuring long-lasting beauty

Sensitive Skin Friendly: 3 hooks included Silver, Bronze, or Stainless Steel. Choose whatever suitable for you

Feather Light: Statement look without heavy pull on ears

Gift with a Meaning: A timeless piece that speaks of heritage, care, and connection

Small Batch Production: We only work with best and prioritize quality over quantity

Truly one-of-one: Subtle variations in each knot make every set unique

Handmade Origin: Nallıhan Lace is a patented and protected heritage

What Makes It Special?

A Heritage Art: İğne oyası has been practiced in Anatolia for centuries, typically passed down from mother to daughter

Motifs With Meanings: Oya motifs once carried hidden messages; feelings that couldn’t be spoken with words were carefully knotted into lace (see more in the “Story Behind This Product” section)

Vanishing Craft: Fewer artisans keep this alive today; each piece helps preserve it

Bridging Past and Present: Traditional iğne oyası (needle lace) was often two-dimensional, adorning scarves and textiles. Today, artisans transform it into 3D wearable art, carrying centuries-old techniques into contemporary, sculptural design
