Description

Aren't these great?  You get your favourite animal in a fun and modern earring and necklace set.  Even better?  They are from NOVICA, associated with National Geographic, who support fair trade artisans all over the world.


So Jantana from Thailand gets to carry on her family's tradition of  jewelry making at fair pay.  "After college, I worked two years for a jewelry company and gained experience in new techniques. Sometimes I create a piece of jewelry designed by an artist to display in museums, both inside and outside Thailand. I've also been able to develop designs of my own that I craft by hand, some of which have been specially designed and hand crafted for Novica."

A sheet of sterling silver (.925) receives a brushed texture with a satin finish and three elephants are cut out by hand. In this design, they come to life as earrings and a necklace that celebrate Thailand's heritage.
