Made to order. Will ship in 1-3 weeks based on demand. If you require a more accurate ETA, please reach out to us via our contact us page.
These earrings are modeled after the corn stalk design element often found in Navajo rugs and sand paintings.
They are hand-woven with size 15 glass delica beads and nylon thread. Delica beads are very light weight, so you don't have to worry about them weighing your ear lobes down.

Dimensions: 2.75" long x 1" wide
Colors include light mint, chartreuse, green, brown, and gold.
They come with sterling silver ear wire unless you indicate otherwise.

Carolyn L. Anderson, the owner and operator of Old Cedar Native Arts, is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and an alumna of the University of Minnesota. In 2006, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in studio art and has exhibited her paintings and mixed media artwork alongside other Indigenous artists in several exhibits locally and nationally. She also has experience curating historical and contemporary Indigenous art exhibits and for 16 years, she worked for Birchbark Books in Minneapolis where she became a buyer of Native American art and jewelry. She was inspired by the beadwork that she would regularly purchase for resale at the store. In 2019, she decided to give beadworking a try and developed several of her own designs. Carolyn beads earrings with some of the tiniest glass seed beads available on the market today. Because it takes so long to finish a pair, she usually makes them on demand.
