Aventurine stones in a lovely shade of aqua dangle alluringly in these earrings designed by Narayani of India. Above and beneath the gemstones, dot motifs adorn handcrafted sterling silver accents.

A jewelry pouch inspired by the unique culture of India 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.

Narayani (left), the artisan behind NOVICA Aventurine .925 Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings 'Aqua Delight' , is the creator of many other unique, handcrafted jewelry items sold by NOVICA."I began by using my free time to string gemstones into jewelry pieces, and I loved the results. I showed my daughter my creations and she was overjoyed. In a way, I would say that my daughter inspires me. As the saying goes, it's never too late to fulfill your passion and so here I am, living my dreams which were somehow, somewhere, hidden deep within me. Thank you Novica for inviting me to become a part of your family."

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. Narayani (pictured above), the artisan behind this and many other special pieces, works with the NOVICA regional office in India.

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.
