Style tip:

Wear these earrings with solid-colored clothing in neutral tones like black, beige, or off-white to create a striking contrast. The combination of bright white, deep black, and warm orange accents will stand out subtly yet visually.

They will be perfectly showcased by an updo or semi-updo—a loose bun, half-updo, or low ponytail. This style highlights the delicacy, movement, and structure of the design.

To evoke an authentic and organic aesthetic, combine them with fabrics like linen, washed cotton, or hemp. These natural materials will echo the traditional craftsmanship of the Wai Wai and highlight the texture of the beads.
