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 womens 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 womens 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.

Amber dangle earrings, 'Busy Bees'
By Kim
Well Made
Mine arent a mirror image like the picture. They are exactly the same, but not really noticeable. I prefer mirror images with earrings to be symmetrical, but I got two left or two right I guess.

Amber and garnet drop earrings, 'Bird Glory'
By Dryad
Lovely
These earrings are spectacular, they are full of details and the length is perfect to contrast with the skin and hair. They have a bit of an ethnic air. The colors are lovely and the earrings are light.

Amber stud earrings, 'Ancient Facets'
By Barbara
Beautifully Made
These earrings are so lovely, the amber is beautiful and so well-made but I am so sorry to say that I have to return them because my fingers are not able to work with the tiny screws that secure to the end of the posts. They are really really small. I tried a traditional backing but the posts are too short to support that. I should have paid more attention to the design details.

Amber Earrings
The gorgeous gold, orange, yellow, and brown colors that make up the composition of amber is only part of its world-wide desire. The colors reach the sense of sight, but it is its history and renowned beauty that make our amber earrings truly spectacular. Amber that exists today dates back as far as the Paleolithic Era. It is formed when resin breaks through the bark of an ancient tree and is later fossilized. This sticky material is able to capture and encapsulate organic material, such as flowers, insects, and much more, making each piece unique. The gem, coming from the Baltic coast, became a much desired piece of jewelry starting in 2500 BC. It was a major trade piece for the Roman Empire, and has been said to come from the tears of the Greek God Apollo. It even made up Catherine the Great’s Amber Room, which is sometimes called the Eighth Wonder of the World.
This semi-precious gem, which has survived the lengths of time and has been traded and worn for centuries, can now be yours. NOVICA, in coordination with its artisans, has put together a breathtaking collection of Amber Earrings. Coming from artisans in Mexico, India, Bali and Java, and Thailand, the exclusive designs of amber dangle or drop earrings can bring you a little piece of history.
