The Village Council

Your answers straight from the village experts

+ - Are there any earring designs or symbols that have a particular meaning?

Absolutely! Jewelry is an art form that allows makers to express their individuality and cultural influences, and certain designs are used to represent important symbols. For example, Central American artisans incorporate traditional figures, glyphs, and pre-Hispanic folklore. In Mexico, the famous work of artists Angel Ortiz, Maria Belen Nilson, and Rosa Rojo highlight the beauty of Aztec, Mayan and Teotihuacan civilizations. In Peru, powerful symbols, like the Andean chakana, are used to represent humanitys union with the cosmos. Indian artists are extremely tied to their faith and spirituality. Earring designs include chakra gemstones, motifs of Lord Ganesha, and other spiritual imagery. In Bali, the Om symbol is prevalent, as well as the mythological panther-like Barong image, which is seen as a protector spirit. Designs pulled from the natural world, like animal figures, feathers, plants, as well as stones, are used in almost every culture, which then infuses them with their own particular meanings.

+ - Are there any eco-friendly women’s earrings?

Yes! We offer a wide selection of earrings that are made from eco-friendly materials. Cow bone, water buffalo horn, fabric, recycled paper, wood, palm leaf and coconut shells, just to name a few. Product descriptions always list materials used, so be sure to read about each product to discover how artisans are working to ensure sustainability and environmental consciousness.

+ - What materials are best for women’s earrings?

There is no best when it comes to handmade earrings. However, certain materials lend themselves well to jewelry. Silver and gold, for example, are frequently used to make earrings because of their luster and shine. Each region puts its own unique touch on the art of earring-making. Most use some combination of silver, gold, gemstones, wooden or glass beads, and bones. Some regions, like West Africa, have found ways to introduce up-cycling into the jewelry-making process. Recycled plastic and paper beads, as well as coconut shells are commonly integrated into beautiful works of earring art. Whatever materials used, quality and safety are always our top priorities. Each pair of earrings is tested to ensure its safety. If you do have sensitive skin, you may consider rhodium plated earrings, as rhodium is completely hypoallergenic. You can always find all relevant information about materials in the product description.

Lapis lazuli dangle earrings, 'Killa Moon'

Beautifully made.

These are truly lovely and made with excellent workmanship. The colors are true to the picture, very pretty and both match. I very much appreciate the rounded tips on the ear wire. So many are just cut off, and if one is lucky the edges are smoothed. On these earrings they are actually rounded and are easy to slip in. They are comfortable to wear and move freely. I’m extremely pleased with the high quality! .

Perfect for everyday wear

Product picture

I wear these whenever I wear anything blue, black, or needs a dark contrasting accent. The stones are a very dark blue —almost black. Design is perfect for a noticeable, pretty touch but not showy. It is also not too long, too big nor heavy. Yet it is also not flimsy and has some depth. I love the design as it is quite feminine and flattering to the face. I’m very happy with these and can highly recommend them.

Lapis lazuli is a favorite of contemporary jewelers, as evidenced in Novica's Gallery of Lapis Earrings. Much lapis reveals golden incrustations of pyrite which are enhanced in polished globes and teardrops. Set in gold vermeil or silver necklaces and earrings, it's deep blue tones are mesmerizing.
