Elegant and Unique Earrings
Ordered these for my friend's birthday, and she loves them. The earring is about one inch long with an attached pearl that shows up nicely. Beautifully intricate swirl design, all in sterling silver. The ear hooks are sturdy and long enough to keep the earrings in place. High quality workmanship and uniquely designed earrings.
I don't usually buy depictions of people, but...
I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
