NOVICA is a jewelry company that works in association with National Geographic to bring real, fair trade jewelry from artists who work hard on their craft. With these particular earrings, they come in a little plastic bag that's inside a decorative pouch with a tiny booklet and it's all inside of another little plastic bag. The booklet tells you where the jewelry comes from, who made it and other tidbits you'd like to know. The pouch is a beautiful little decorative bag to keep the earrings in and the earrings are keepsakes and handmade.
This is the pouch and booklet. You receive different color pouches for each pair you buy and the booklet is just two pages.
Within those two little pages, you can feel good about the purchase made because the artists put their heart and soul into making them and neither you or them are getting ripped off. The artisan who crafted these earrings, along with her team of 10 other people is named Made Sriasih. She was born in a village in Indonesia known for silver production and her father was a silversmith. Made has known about this trade since she was 12. After college, Made started a silver business and the rest is history. This story with more detail is included in the booklet. It helps you know more about what you're buying, who you're buying it from and the impact it has.
It's real jewelry with very strong and beautiful detail. It's a Balinese design made with arabesques swirls along with silver petals and granules. These earrings are perfect as a gift for yourself or others and work for almost any occasion. I don't think anyone would hate to receive these as a gift. They cost $45.99 on Amazon and they are a worthwhile investment. I received these earrings heavily discounted in exchange for my honest review. Get them here: NOVICA Paradise Hoop Earrings
