Knotted by hand on golden strands, gemstones cluster in radiant earrings. Nareerat combines yellow quartz with bright garnets and carnelian, natural citrine, cool peridot and glass beads.

.925 Sterling silver hooks. The presence of peridot and citrine makes these earrings a great gift for August or November birthdays.

A jewelry pouch inspired by the unique culture of Thailand is included with these earrings.

Each product comes with a special NOVICA booklet that helps to bring artisans and patrons closer together with a small bit of information about the creator of each piece and the inspiration behind the item.

Nareerat (left), the artisan behind NOVICA Multi-Gem Quartz Silver Plated Beaded Earrings 'Sweet Tropics' , is the creator of many other unique, handcrafted jewelry items sold by NOVICA.My name is Nareerat Tansuwansophon but you can call me Lek. I prefer to design and craft the jewelry myself. I wanted to make something different from what you find in the market. So I bought a book about making jewelry and the processes. I started from the beginning. It was so hard before I finished and it took me long time to make the first piece. When I knew the basics and the process, I started to design by myself. I tried for long time until I got better. Finally, in September of 2005, I opened my own small shop. At present, I live with my husband and our children, and I do my jewelry by myself.

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, works together with talented artisan designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake treasures. Our mantra is to spread global happiness, so rest assured - we’ll do everything we possibly can to ensure you’re a happy customer.

We CONNECT artisans to a global marketplace of socially conscious customers:
Artisans from around the world (many living in rural communities) don't have the means to sell their work on the international market. NOVICA gives them a free platform to do this, and reach customers on a global scale. Our teams of local art experts based in every region, provide artisans with all the backup they need. Nareerat (pictured above), the artisan behind this and many other special pieces, works with the NOVICA regional office in Thailand.

We EMPOWER artisans to build a sustainable business from their craft:
We operate a completely transparent system where artisans have all the control. They are free to raise or lower their own prices, can withdraw their products at any time, and can even put their items on sale.

We PRESERVE ancient artistic traditions for future generations to enjoy:
Local sourcing teams in every region are tasked with finding the most unique and precious art traditions around. We look for originality, quality of workmanship, and pieces we know our customers will love. In the past, artists have been forced to give up their art in favor of a more lucrative career. NOVICA allows them to carry on with their craft, as there is now a platform from which they can operate a sustainable creative business.
