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.

Just Amazing Pair - Very Delicate and Special

Product picture

I love the work of this artist and own a few pieces already. The pair is so much nicer and much more delicate in reality. I love these earrings - it was a love at first sight. I am happy I decided to treat myself to this very pair. They are very light. Perfect size. I love everything about them - silver work, a garnet stone, carving, motif.

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.

Garnet Earrings

The attention-commanding crimson glow of garnet, has made it a popular choice among jewelry makers and wearers since the Bronze Age. Although January’s birthstone comes in six varieties, the most common and beloved strain of garnet is deep red, which is also the featured strain in NOVICA’s collection of garnet earrings. Far less common green grossular garnet is found in Siberia, but the scarcest found strain of garnet is a blue stone discovered in Madagascar. Set in sterling silver or gold vermeil, the maroon gemstone comes to life in our selection of garnet drop earrings. The red jewel thought to resemble the seed of a pomegranate has been mined in western Rajasthan for the past 200 years and is a favorite of our Indian jewelers. Artisans in this collection also feature the stone in floral designs, garnet heart earrings, dangle earrings, studs, and chandeliers. NOVICA’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and materials together with garnet’s timeless appeal guarantees enjoyment for years to come.
