Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece
Luis Banda
I'm Luis Banda Castañeda, but my friends call me Lucho. I was born in Lima on July 22, 1954. My childhood was spent appreciating the beauty of nature, like the Pacific Ocean with its diversity of colors in its waters, fish, sand, rocks and sunsets. When I began to travel, I'd go to the Andes where I came into contact with the culture of my ancestors, the Inca. Then I visited the Amazon rainforest with its people's different kinds of art. I began collecting handicrafts and jewelry from all these areas. I studied economy in the university and then my work took me to Europe where I began to sell Peruvian craftwork. When I returned to Lima, I started a business to import radio transmitters for the communications industry.

Christopher Matthews
These earrings are striking without being over-designed or over-decorated. They seem a bit larger than their description, but do not are too big for me (I am short). They are very light-weight. The classic shape and excellent finish can add to a work outfit or a night out. I have purchased from this seller multiple times. The prices are bit higher than I usually pay, but as I know that Novica is fair trade seller with predictable quality, so it is acceptable for me.
