"Stunning!"
When I took this jewelry box out of the packaging.... I was truly amazed at its beauty. The craftmanship is superb and the combination of the black, silver, and colored stones is a match made in heaven! Aside from the fact that everything I buy from Novica is outstanding....I love the thought that these items are handmade as well. Plus, its a great feeling knowing that you can give your support to all of these wonderful artisans. So glad I that I found Novica!

In addition to being visually appealing, the jewelry box is sturdy and well constructed. The artisans expertise is apparent in all aspects of the metal tooling and precise fit of the removable insert. Khalid Ali is a talented and amazing artisan. I like to open it and share special things inside with my grandchildren, to bring happy memories to the family.Its fun to think of it as my treasure box.With appreciation, Elizabeth. California, USA

"This Mirror has Moved With Us"
We bought this mirror almost10 years ago, but I didnt think of leaving a review. This is a meticulously crafted mirror, and we had assumed the mirror would deteriorate over time (as do many mirrors sold these days). However, this mirror has stood the test of time, and we were so enamoured of the design, that when we moved, we specifically told the buyer that the mirror was coming with us. The nickel surround has not tarnished and the item is still beautiful.
