Peru & India's people, food, and culture make me glad to be alive!
What I like most about Novica:
Novica is the real deal. After traveling through Peru I did not even come close to finding as unique/varied items & quality/use of regional materials (and not just because was broke)- knew could come home, shop online and still make a fair exchange for artisans. This is key.

Testimonial for Oscar Figueroa Escorcia
The Monarch Butterfly choker pendent is of great quality & price. It sites just at the base of the throat chakra & just sings. I hope Mr. Escorcia will make more ! Thank You!
Testimonial for Patricia Jara
Another great ring from Ms. Jara - "Duality" - rose quartz & amazonite - my niece may steal this from me! Always enjoy her work. Thank you!
Testimonial for Neeru Goel
The Blue Unicorn necklace is very special. For me it symbolizes a swirling cosmic sword of Truth. I love the texture of the chain. Thank you so much Neeru for your artistry.
Testimonial for Sajad
The magenta wool/silk wrap arrived today at work and was immediately worn - what more can be said?! glorious color! A bit of India's warmth in this wet Seattle spring. Many thanks.
Testimonial for Marcel Ryzenberg
Very much enjoying these sodalite pieces: the Modern Pyramid ring (reminds of the Inca stones) & the large Raindrop pendent. Mr. Ryzenberg's works are wonderfully chosen for visual interest & polished to a high shine - they are a joy to own. You cannot go wrong by this artist. Thank you again & Happy New Year! Christina
Testimonial for Sandra and Lily
"Hopes & Dreams" amazonite choker is a stand out great design. The stones chosen are unique in themselves & blend in a glorious stream of color. Something of ancient Egypt in this. "Heart of Adventure" - another amazonite piece - a simple heart shape, but when opened up the white tissue paper it's color & character of the stone was stunning. Photos show it being a light blue, but this is a Caribbean aqua blue. Wonderful. Am impressed with the artists eye for gem character & design in these pieces. The deicate silver chains & thier little silver signaure tag make them even more unique and special. Bravo!
Testimonial for Yuli
My 18 year old niece loved the Enchanted silver earrings. Yuli's work is lovely. Thank you!
Testimonial for Alfredo Inga
Silver filigree earrings, 'White Butterfly' - these are my 3rd pair of earrings from Mr. Inga. All of his pieces are carefully and beautifully crafted. These have a special playful energy. Thank you very much!
Testimonial for Isidoro C'cahuantico
Love my little alpaca turquoise scarf ! Nice quality, will enjoy for years. Thank you!
Testimonial for Horacio Gomenzoro
Something special from Brazil! Love the monarch butterfly necklace. The contrast between the delicate tracing of the silver with the leather makes for a very unique piece. Everyone comments. Very cool. Thank you!
