Ginkgo post earrings highlight the beauty of this well-known leaf with its unique heart shape and delicate veining. Gingko biloba trees are among the most celebrated of trees, and for good reason. Not only are they breathtaking, but gingko are considered a living fossil, having no known living relatives, and having endured for millions of years with little change. They are the oldest surviving species of tree known to exist, with a history spanning 200 million years. Not surprisingly, it has become a symbol of strength, hope, and peace for many.
Our bronze is a high-quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays, but does not eliminate, eventual oxidation.

About the Artist:
When I founded Nina Designs in 1983, I was determined to create a company that had a positive impact on the world. This commitment informs every aspect of Nina Designs, from our dedication to fair trade, to our micro-loan program, from our efforts to care for the planet, to our carefully crafted company culture.
Most of our designs begin as a dream. We have an idea, sketch it out in meticulous detail and send it to Asia where it is brought to life by our talented silversmiths in Bali and Thailand. These skilled artisans are a treasured part of our jewelry community and we treat them with the respect they deserve.
In a turbulent world, beautiful art plays an important role by lifting our spirits and nurturing our creativity. At its best, jewelry is art that enriches daily life, both for the person wearing it and for those who notice it. Like many of you, I seem to have been born with a love of jewelry. As a little girl admiring ancient treasures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I discovered a passion that would last a lifetime. I hope our jewelry designs fill you with joy and inspiration.
