Kinship Earrings - Papua New Guinea

A celebration of connection and craft, the Kinship Earrings by Bilum & Bilas pair a textured gold hoop with an intricately handwoven natural fibre hoop — two distinct forms brought together in perfect balance. The result is a minimalist, sculptural design that makes a subtle yet meaningful statement in any season.

Crafted from rapa — a plant fibre foraged and prepared entirely by hand — these lightweight hoops honour PNG’s long lineage of women weavers while blending beautifully into modern wardrobes.

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