"Sophisticated Even Though Big & Bold"
Gate of Olympus. bone earrings when worn with the right outfit will look unique and sophisticated. The matching necklace, Ancient Remnant, can coordinate with the earrings and look good depending on the outfit. Very attractive worn with black or black/white outfit. Extremely eye catching, big and bold, but created with finesse, a touch of femininity. Happy with purchase.

"This is beautiful"
This is a beautifully balanced and well made piece. I love the garnet sparkling on the sterling silver side of these earrings. The bone carving is delicate and lovely also. A stunning pair of earrings.

"Sooo beautiful!"
I love the jewelry here and have certain favorite artists. Made Wardika is one and Komang Suastra is another. Both do lovely silver work and bone carving. People often ask where I got my earrings and I proudly tell them to buy from Novica. I not only find unique things here but, unlike in regular stores, theyre things that are interesting and suit my tastes. Im also thrilled to help artisans get fair wages and recognition for their work.

"Very detailed"
Outside of the fact that alligators have a more rounded snout, this carving is very realistic. It amazes me that this was carved from a piece of bone. The adjustable leather necklace is sturdy and compliments the pendant nicely. I am very happy I purchased it. It is not something you see everyday, and I like unique things.
