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.

Aurora Leaves Leather Earrings
Nicely crafted, natural look in leather with tiger eye accent. Beautiful and practical. So nice I actually ordered another pair.
Sterling silver dangle earrings, 'Pirouette'
Pirouette Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings
My earrings are stunning. They seem to dance around as you walk. They sway gently in the breeze and are so comfortable, you'll probably forget you're wearing them until someone says your earrings are so pretty, where did you get them? They are absolutely my favorites. Also, you're not going to see them everywhere, they are hand crafted.
Pearl and garnet cluster earrings, 'Thai Joy'
By Patricia R.
Matches the necklance and bracelet perfectly!
After receiving a gift card for Novica, I purchased the Peony Romance necklace and bracelet, and was very happy with them, but didnt have any earrings that would go with them. As the earrings are called Thai Joy, it took me a little while to find them, but they match the other pieces perfectly! Very happy with the quality and the look of these. They are very unusual, colorful and pretty. Some may feel they are a bit old fashioned rather than sleek and modern, but if you like this type of jewelry, I would definitely recommend!!
