About this Artist
Anna Lia Barandiaran Pravatiner was born in Lima on August 6, 1976. She excels in silversmith artistry and jewelry. Anna Lia's initial contact with jewelry came from being a sales representative for an important jewelry company. She became impassioned with the realm of jewelry-making and began to design and craft her own pieces. With the passing of time, Anna Lia refined her technique, ultimately perfecting her skills through specialized courses from renowned art schools. Her designs are guided by intuition and original creativity."I'd describe my work as feminine and with character," she says. Anna Lia is moved by a desire to transmit the beauty she observes, as well as by the admiration she feels for gemstones' natural allure and the energy they project. Her designs are veritable works of art that break through traditional schemes. Her creativity knows no boundaries and her desings are based on intense research on form and movement, rendering them dynamic.
Anna Lia began designing silver and gemstone jewelry with the hopes of eventually introducing her work through major exhibitions. Her dream came true when she presented her work at the Cirque à Porter exhibition, as well as in renowned South American galleries. She works mainly with gold, silver, a variety of gemstones and simple, manual tools.
To Novica customers she would like to say, "I hope with all sincerity that you enjoy and feel comfortable wearing my creations, just as I enjoyed making them."
In 2004, Anna Lia represented Peru in the "Art for Everyday Living" competition, organized by UNESCO Brazil.
Peridot is my birthstone and I see very little of it except in boring and redundant styles. When I saw Anna Lia's "abacus" style ring with random dainty peridots roped in silver, well, I was hooked. I ordered the earrings as well--beautiful of course. My ring also serves as worry beads at tense times. I catch myself rolling the little beads back and forth over my finger. Beautiful and soothing? Who could want something more? Well, I could want Anna's new bracelet and necklace, too, that I've just seen on site........

Although there was some trouble with shipping (Brazil has bizarre customs practices), the bracelet "Garland" is simply beautiful. The silver strands were delicate and finely made. Thank you for creating such a wonderful piece of jewelry.

I recently acquired Anna Lia's "Ellipse" bracelet. I love its sleek simplicity. I'm looking forward to warmer weather so it will be more visible on my wrist. Until then, I'm enjoying feeling like I have a secret, frequently pushing back my long sleeves to admire it. It is elegantly minimalist.

I was looking for a rectangular shaped earring & saw the 'Temple of the Sun'. It stands out among the similar shaped earrings in the website with its simple but bold & stylish design. It has hammered discs creating the glittering effects. It can glam up any dressing easily. I like the non-fussy look.

Dear Anna, I love my Sun and Moon choker. I trekked the Inca trail and learned a lot about the andeans, pachamama and Inti. Your choker encapsulates all of that. Thank you

I recently purchased a Serpentine Necklace titled "Amazon Life Saver" from this artist. The craftsmanship of the necklace is exceptional. The presentation and packaging of the product was outstanding. Thank you so much for this piece of fine art.

I just received my necklace in record time, and I absolutely LOVE it. I can't wait to buy more from this artist. In fact, I think my mom would love this necklace - there was only one left on the web site, or I would have bought one for her as well! Very unique and artistic!!!

Thank you for the "love stone" earrings. They are designed so well--and hang beautifully. Your work is so interesting and varied. I look forward to getting more pieces in the future!

I laid eyes on the Anna Lia while looking at Novica's sterling silver garnet pieces. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I got it today and it is absolutely gorgeous. Also, surprisingly, the necklace is amazingly lightweight.

I just received the Inca Abacus necklace and it is quite lovely. I plan to give it as a Christmas gift to my son's girlfriend. She loves handmade things, and I know she will love it. This is my first time I have ordered from Novica and am very pleased with the whole experience. I have already recommended it to others.
