Gold-plated filigree dangle earrings, 'Royal Scroll in Gold'

Mary

Beautiful quality craftsmanship!

Product picture

I bought these because filigree is a favorite of mine, but usually wear silver. So received a gold chain as a gift and went to Novica to find gold earrings. I found these quickly and it was a no brainer. These are stunning and are so unique! Having bought from Novica in the past, I know the high quality of their products. Very happy and will continue to shop on Novica for one of a kind gifts and jewelry.

Sterling silver dangle earrings, 'Cuzco Couple'

I don't usually buy depictions of people, but...

Product picture

I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
