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.

Pearl and tiger's eye dangle earrings, 'Insightful'
By Sherry
Light catchers
I love these little earrings. They are great with jeans and tee shirts or dresses. I bought them hoping they matched a tiger's eye necklace I bought in China 30 years ago...and they do! I wear them with and without the necklace. The craftsmanship is exquisite as always with creations by Nareerat.

Tiger Eye Earrings
Worn by both women and men, earrings have been considered women's jewelry in the past in Western cultures. Ear piercing is one of the oldest known forms of modifying the body, and earrings are seen worn by images carved in walls in Persepolis in ancient Persia. Today, they are widely used.
Whether set on posts or wires, tiger's eye earrings bring warmth and beauty to the wearer. Chandelier earrings, seductive drop earrings and exquisite filigree earrings are excellent showcases for the lovely stone. Mined mostly in South Africa, the gem's honeyed tones make it prized in jewelry.
