Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Polished chrysoprase nestles serenely in glowing silver (0.925). The clear, green, semiprecious stone is said to promote wisdom and peace. These handsome earrings, from the talented Olga Hinojosa, expertly combine two earth elements in a sophisticated design of timeless appeal. Artisan Info: Olga Hinojosa began designing and making silver jewelry in 1970. She studied at the Talleres de Artes Plasticas y Artesanias at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. She has also studied in specialized workshops in various cities throughout Mexico. The artist has exhibited her work since 1972 in Mexico City, Washington D.C., Venezuela, Canada and Germany, among other countries. In 1984, she began to teach her trade and open workshops for production. Hinojosa became successful at commercializing her products through her own stores, but she decided to close them down a few years ago to dedicate herself to her workshops and have more time to teach her skill and create new designs. Since then, Hinojosa has come to treasure her unique skills and craft more than ever.
