Today I received the Sleeping Princess ring and it is so beautiful! I'm very pleased. I wished Buana made this ring in a size 9 because it is the sort of design I normally wear on a middle finger, but it looked so pretty and different from what I can usually find, I decided to try it on a traditional ring finger instead. I am not disappointed at all because while the ring is substantial, the princess figure and her crown are also delicate enough that the ring isn't overpowering or too big. It looks great on any finger of the hand. There is absolutely nothing about the Sleeping Princess ring I do not like. It is sized correctly. The silver is solidly hefty, smooth, polished, and comfortable. The delicate sculpturing is beautiful. The carved bone face of the princess and the single citrine stone are just right, providing multidimensional interest without being overpowering (and therefore, tacky). In summary, the Sleeping Princess ring is very well made, classy, and gorgeous to boot! Thank you so much for a beautiful piece of jewelry at a fair price, and for getting it to me so quickly from far away. Finally, I want to also thank Buana and Novica for high- caliber business ethics. In today's culture of consumers bearing all costs of doing business and businesses treating customers as if we are undeserving of quality goods and respectful treatment in exchange for our hard-earned money, far too many (actually, most) consumer purchases of ALL kinds end up disappointing or big hassles due to poor quality and/or poor customer service. Often, we actually feel cheated but there is nothing we can do about it. I usually dread shopping now because I know that probably Something will go wrong and I will be spending extra time frustratingly trying to get follow-through and satisfaction. In contrast, it is such a Pleasure to give my business to the artists selling through Novica because, thus far, Every Single purchase (spanning a few years) has been blessedly problem-free and satisfying. I have not once felt disappointed or cheated in some way. Instead, I've placed the orders online with no snafus. I've received well-packaged shipments in the time promised or sooner. There have been no follow-up hassles for me. The items I purchased have been what I was expecting and even nicer than photos could show. Every item has been such high quality that I've been completely happy with my choices, suffering no shopper's remorse or sense of shame for wasting my money needlessly on garbage I'm stuck with or must get rid of. Thank you!!!!!!

i have just received my ring and it is breathtaking. the face carving is wonderful and the details are just superb. i am wearing the ring as i write this review and i can not take my eyes from it. i have a pair of face earrings and a face pendant that i bought few years back from another artist and i can say that this ring makes such a nice addition to my collection. i know i will be wearing it often and i am sure i will receive lots of compliments. i was worried that it would be too bold on my finger, but it is the perfect size. i can not stop smiling when i look at it and when i know how much love and care went into this ring. thank you so much, novica, for bringing us such great values at such great prices! and THANK YOU, BUANA, for this treasure that i will wear with pride and that i will treasure for as long as i live.

I got a Dreamer and everybody stop me to talk about because they love the smiling face, that peaceful expression he craved in the bone. I am happy to have something to give me the chance to talk about Novica, and the artisans.

I received my "Amun Ra" ring today and it's just as gorgeous as my "Face of the Moon" ring I purchased from Buana two years ago. I wear them together and it's just an awesome look. There's so much detail in these rings, they're artsy, the faces are serene looking, and they're just plain "cool". Love them.
