Sterling silver band ring, 'Leather Minimalist'
By Susan
Wedding Ring
My husband lost his wedding ring on a water slide... yip he did! This ring was his Father's Day present and it is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully made, and the right blend of strong and soft elements that one would look for in a ring for a dad. Love it! and he loves it too!

White gold plated cultured pearl solitaire ring, 'Budding Beauty'
By Shari
Anniversary ring
This ring was a gift from my husband for our 30th Anniversary. I couldnt have asked for a more beautiful gift. The ring is simple but beautiful, the pearl has a perfect luster, and the detail is just right. This was my first item from Novica, and I have placed quite a few orders since. The jewelry quality is top notch.

About Handcrafted Jewellery
Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
