Beautiful
My necklace just arrived yesterday and I already love it. The Guatemalan Jade is incredible and very well etched and polished and it hangs light, in case there are those who like lighter necklaces. The face of the pendant suggests it was hand done, but very well done at that, and I can't help but love to wear it.
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.
