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.

'Taxco Lovebird', turquoise, dangle earrings look good with a simple outfit that does not dominate the look of the earrings. The earrings have an attachment that prevents the earrings from falling off. I had a big discount that made the price if the earrings a reasonable value. Happy with purchase.

Turquoise Earrings

The unique blue-green glow of turquoise seems to have a cast a spell of enchantment since time immemorial. It has been used for the ceremonial masks of the Aztecs and the burial masks of the Egyptians; as amulets by Native American; and as symbol of wealth in many ancient civilizations. Today's artisan jewelers do not escape the charm of turquoise, treasuring its unique beauty in a plethora of styles and designs. Visit Novica's gallery of turquoise earrings and be charmed too!

According to mystical lore, turquoise takes on the characteristics of its owner, which stands to reason that a pair of turquoise filigree earrings will always suit your personal style – even if they were handmade so very far away, say by Alfredo Inga in Peru.

Turquoise is regarded as the symbol of friendship, said to bring the wearer good fortune when given as a gift. If you were thinking of flowers, why not turquoise flower earrings for a more personal, original gift?
