Description

Sicily has a millenary tradition in the production of ceramics and today Sicilian pottery is among the best-known and appreciated in the world.

The art of pottery making is a very elaborate handicraft that requires a lot of skill and patience.

This pair of pottery earrings is wholly handmade and hand-painted in Sicily by the most skillful native artisans who respect the traditional shape of prickly pear pads.

The origins of the Opuntia Ficus Indica, the botanical name of the prickly pears, date back to the Spanish domination in Sicily during the fifteenth century, when they were imported from south and central America to Sicily.

Its pretty funny how a plant that is not even native can get naturalized and integrated so much into our Sicilian culture.

This pair of pottery prickly pear earrings belongs to our original collection of pottery jewelry.

It strives to preserve the soul of “Sicilianity” and our heritage.

Proudly display these precious Sicilian earrings for all your family and friends to see!

Dear Sicily Lover, we aim to be transparent and don’t want to surprise you with any hidden costs.

International tax policies are different in each State but we want to make things easier for you.

The taxes may depend on the destination address.

In some countries like the U.S. we can offer you the benefit of having duty-free items therefore we display prices without custom duty and taxes.

ORDERING FROM THE UNITED STATES

NO VAT: You have the advantage of not paying the Italian VAT (Value Added Tax).

This means you don’t pay the 22% Italian Sales Tax of the selling price applied in Italy and the EU.

DUTY-FREE: Shipments with a total value of less than $799 USD are not subject to custom duty and tax.

This means that orders shipped with a value of $799 USD or less enter the U.S. Duty-free and have a simplified American import customs procedure. This amount includes shipping costs and is referred to based on the current US Dollar – Euro rate.

This rule applies to shipments made by a private individual in the United States applicable to only 1 order per day.

If the total value of your order is $800 USD or more, your shipment may be subject to custom duty and import taxes.

The custom duty and import taxes on a shipment will be charged to you. In order to receive the package, you will be required to pay these additional taxes. They may be paid by credit card directly to the courier.

TIPS: If your order is over $799 USD you may still benefit from the Duty-free advantage and save money: we suggest that you divide your order into smaller amounts on different days and limit each order to less than $799 USD.

It removes about 98% of duties on imports of goods whose origin is the European Union, simplifying and making imports and exports less costly.

CETA applies to duties, but not taxes. Therefore, any applicable GST/HST/PST for imports into Canada will be assessed accordingly (approximately 10% – 15%).
