I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, but have lived in New England for many years. I love to travel but can't do much of it at the moment; wearing Novica jewelry reminds me of the fascinating places it comes from and takes me on a little "mental trip." I live with my husband and five cats. My two daughters are adults and live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Providence, Rhode Island. I have just become a grandmother for the first time; my older daughter had twins, Eloise and Julian! Apart from my family and my job, my main interests are reading, knitting, theatre, and animal welfare.

I love obtaining beautiful original jewelry at fair prices from people whose stories I know a little something about. I have enjoyed choosing Novica jewelry not only for myself but also for my two daughters and my niece. It's nice to know that the items I select for them will be things they haven't seen before.
