Beautiful gift for my best friend.”

This ring is so simple and beautiful. I've been to Guatemala 3 times now and everytime I'm there I fall in love with the jewlery in the markets. I wanted to find a way to continue shopping in Guatemala while at home and Novica gave me that! This artist did an amazing job, this ring is in perfect condition and it's a beautiful stone. It's perfect for a gift, because it comes with a great story. I'm happy to support artisans in the country I love because they are truly talented and the world needs to know. I look forward to shopping more with this artist, this is my second ring I've bought from her and they're both beautiful.

Casual or Dressy This was a gift for Friend Occasion: graduation

This is a beauty!”

This ring is simply beautiful. The sizing is perfect. The stone looks almost black but the green shines through in the light. I?m very happy with my purchase and will surely be a lifelong Novica shopper. The mission speaks to me and I reap the benefits for myself and in gifts to others!

Beautiful soft Green Jade Earrings”

I just love these earrings! They are a beautiful soft green jade set in silver that go well with casual or dress clothes. I did change out the original wires on these earrings with some longer skinnier wires that I can easily put on and take off. The other wires were too big for my ears. Unfortunately that meant losing the little silver accent at the top corner of the stone setting

Nothing Special”

While I expected some variation in the jade color, the stones were dark, dark. Hardly green, at all. The picture shows the earrings as being substantially constructed. Not so. The ear wires are flimsy silver and difficult to use because they have to be manipulated so they will break, or at best will become gnarly-looking. I am not going to return them because that would end up being expensive. All in all, Im very disappointed.
