“Everthing Buana makes is Heirloom Quality!!!! A++++”

I love Buanas work, be it a gorgeous pendant, a beautiful set of Cow boned earrings that match many of the pendants, and of course the lovely bracelets which match all of the above!!! I have been collecting Buanas work for years, and intend to collect more of his work . Thank You Buana for all of the wonderful items that you have made!!!

“These are exquisite”

These are beautiful. They are so exquisitely crafted and they are the perfect size- not too large or too small. Theyre just right. I love them and i know theyll be one of my go to sets of earrings. They look even better on than they do in the picture. Amazing.

“So beautiful and well-made, I purchased two!”

This necklace is just stunning! The overall peace is shaped like a diamond. In the center of the piece is a pearl, below the pearl is the beautiful faceted amethyst and below the beautiful amethyst is another pearl. The pearls and amethyst are in a vertical line in the center of the peace. On either side of the amethyst and pearls is the beautiful sterling silver work. I am slowly building a collection of jewelry for each of my daughters that I will give them when they re older. My youngest daughter looked at several amethyst jewelry pieces from Novica and this was the necklace she loved the most! I know she will treasure it for years to come! Truly, it is an heirloom piece of jewelry that can be passed down from one generation to the next.
