Glass watermelon earrings in aid of Palestine

Our first set of earrings sold out in hours so you might want to be fast with these. 

These earrings are hand assembled by Niamh in her kitchen in Cobh. They’re made of sterling silver metal and murano glass watermelon beads. Every penny of profit will be sent to an INCREDIBLE Palestinian mother of two who has been raising her three children in refugee camps alone since her husband was martyred last year. 

Just imagine raising your children while grieving your husband in the worst possible conditions. We want to raise at least €200 to help Alaa afford a tarp to waterproof her tent and hopefully enough to help her get some essentials. Her children are freezing and starving. Alaa is a remarkable mother who is doing everything she can to keep her children safe while under siege. 

These watermelon earrings are €20 and after materials, platform and payment fees (we don’t pay ourselves) the remaining €15 goes directly to Alaa. We are fortunate to have contacts in Palestine who can get this money directly to Alaa and her children in cash, which is a blessing. 

There are hundreds of thousands of mothers like Alaa doing everything they can to keep their children alive. Please visit Gaza Go Bragh to find out how you can set up a fundraiser to get cash, food and shelter directly and immediately to families in Gaza. 

The watermelon has become a symbol of resistance and solidarity with the people of Palestine. We hope you’ll wear this studs proudly. Please be gentle with them and take them off before showering. 

As we will be donating this money to Alaa, please consider how refunds may impact the funds. While we will of course give refunds if requested, we urge you to look at this purchase as a donation. The earrings - however imperfect - are a token we hope you’ll love.
