Paisley: A Motif with a Long Journey

Paisley began as the boteh, or buta, a teardrop shape known in Persia and India. Kashmiri weavers placed it on fine woolen shawls.

Europeans imported those shawls in the mid 1700s. Mills in Paisley, Scotland, later copied them on mechanized looms, and the pattern eventually took the town name.

Why a Bird Silhouette Suits a Busy Pattern

A simple outline lets a busy pattern shine. The calm shape of these paisley bird earrings frames the swirling color inside.

Look for curling teardrops, small blossoms, and leaf forms packed together like feathers. It is colorful bird jewelry with a textile heritage.

Teal Beads and Silver Wire

Teal bead dangles hang from silver wire wraps below each bird. They add a cool accent against the warm paisley. Bead dangle earrings like these swing with every step.

The wire wraps are small, neat, and secure. These bead dangle earrings are easy to spot and easy to love.
