Grace: In my never-ending quest to find new, unique earrings, I came across these beautiful, handcarved earrings.  They are incredibly unique; I’ve never seen anything like them before!  They are made from mate or carved gourd, an ancient South American tradition in which a gourd is hand carved with a hot tool (in the past it was a burning ember).  Since these earrings are hand carved, no two are exactly the same, even within a pair.  Not only is the center of these earrings handmade, but the silver detailing is also made completely by hand.

If you know someone who loves all sorts of handmade silver jewelry, I would highly recommend these earrings  They would make an especially great gift for someone who is interested in organic jewelry.  These handmade carved gourd earrings are a great addition to any woman’s jewelry collection.

Dan: Wow those handmade carved gourd earrings are really astonishing.  I have never heard of such a unique and interesting material before.  Given the amount of time to make the material alone before turning it into jewelry, it must be really valuable.  It makes for an excellent and rare gift!
