Faith Comes From What Is Heard Ornament

The technique of reverse painting on glass, known as ne'qwa in Mandarin, began more than a thousand years ago. During the 17th century, the tradition flourished in China, with artisans primarily decorating snuff bottles. Ne'Qwa Art, a company now owned by Precious Moments, revived this ancient art form and applied it to ornaments and other glass decor. 

• Artisans train for years to master the precise technique of painting in reverse.
• The process begins with mouth-blown glass, with each piece individually created.
• Artists use specialized, tiny paintbrushes to meticulously hand-paint the design on the inside of the glass.
• Because the image is painted in reverse, the artist must apply the color layers in the opposite order of how they will appear when viewed from the outside. 

Every genuine Neqwa Art ornament is authenticated with a certificate of authenticity. Each piece is also etched with an artist's signature and the Neqwa Art logo. The ornament is packaged in a satin-lined, keepsake gift box. 

Yes, Ne'Qwa Art releases limited edition ornaments each year, which are typically larger than standard ornaments. These ornaments are highly collectible and come with a special, heavy keepsake box for protection. 

While they are often hung on Christmas trees, many people display Neqwa ornaments year-round on a stand. Neqwa Art sells specialized metal display stands for this purpose.
