Bar Earrings - Papua New Guinea

Simple, striking, and full of meaning, the Bar Earrings by Bilum & Bilas bring a modern edge to traditional craftsmanship. Each earring features a delicately handwoven natural fibre disc suspended from a sleek metal bar — a subtle statement piece that honours both heritage and contemporary design. Crafted by women artisans in Papua New Guinea using rapa, a natural plant fibre similar to sisal, every pair carries the story of skill, culture, and connection.

Each pair celebrates generations of weaving traditions while providing fair, sustainable income for women artisans across Papua New Guinea.
