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.
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.
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.

Gold vermeil citrine bar earrings, 'Simple Abundance'
By Cherrie
So pretty!
Lightweight flat gold bars that I wear often. Wish theyd been more 3-dimensional bars but are pretty and match everything I wear. ?

Gold vermeil onyx and smoky quartz dangle earrings, 'Eternal Mist'
By Louise
Much more beautiful than I had hoped for
Wow! These are very nice quality earrings & I have many pairs from this artist so that should not have been a surprise. But I was not sure of the color & quality of the stones in hand, as opposed to my computer monitor. I was hoping the smoky quartz had more of a brown tinge than gray & I was not disappointed. I thought the onyx stones on the chain were a golden yellow, but they are actually more orange, which is fine. The smoky quartz stones are perfectly cut, clear & matched for size. While the smoky quartz will blend into the color of my hair, the sparkle of the large faceted stones will be noticeable. Also, the orange onyx should stand out against the gold vermeil. These earrings are candidates for using the inexpensive & wider plastic backs that provide more support for both the earrings & ear lobes. I do not wear heavy earrings & I would definitely not put these into that class. This style comes in several other colored stone choices & I plan to order another.
