5 out of 5 starsVery pretty etching on the bottle, exactly as described. Also stopper/pourer very high quality which is extremely important for functionality! If it looks good, great, but obviously it needs to function well and it does! Carefully packed and shipped. Love it!

5 out of 5 starsThe item arrived wrapped securely and safely, so it arrived in perfect condition. The leaves, twigs, and moss inside were a little jumbled and not quite as vividly colorful as the picture, but they are a beautiful effect and a unique ornament for the tree. The seller was responsive to my questions, and I would shop this store again. The ornament arrived a little late (due to USPS delays-- NOT the seller), but still with plenty of time to be gifted for the holidays. Make sure to place your order early!

Origins and Inspirations
I created Hieropice ("Hi-Row-Pie-See") back in the 90's, when AOL was the internet provider of-choice and their character-limit, my fascination with Egyptology, and Pisces-pride resulted in Hieropice's unusual name. After years of practice and study of jewelry-making, I've found that nature, in its infinite incarnations, has provided the most inspiration, which is why you see it's influence in Hieropice's Terrarium necklaces (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Hieropice?section_id=12846379) and One-of-a-Kind pieces (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Hieropice?section_id=13694634).
Hieropice is a one-woman operation, and all of its pieces are designed and created by me, Dara Cheek. I hand-sculpt the miniatures inside each mini terrarium, hand-bead every Maasai piece, and hand-drill/lacquer each nutmeg pod.
Hieropice's Maasai beaded pieces are inspired by a month abroad volunteering in Tanzania, where I learned a traditional beading technique of the Maasai tribe. Back in the states, I modified the technique, and created designs that incorporated luxurious materials like Sterling silver and garnets, to create pieces that honored the traditional concept but suited women worldwide. The nutmeg pods in our nutmeg pod necklaces came from that same volunteering trip, where I acquired them at a spice farm in Zanzibar.
I also make full-size terraria, but customers at craft shows would always tell me how terrified they were of killing the plants inside. So I decided to make a maintenance-free, miniature version, and thus, Hieropice's terrarium necklaces were born. I've branched off into creating whole miniature landscape terrarium necklaces, that are one of a kind (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Hieropice?section_id=13694634)
