Animal Themed Sterling Silver Necklaces from Bali and Java

While I chose to buy the garnet "dragon's ball" necklace for myself, I chose the topaz one for my best friend whose birthday is in December and his birthstone is topaz. The craftsmanship and detailing when I purchased mine convinced me this artisan knows exactly what dragons look like. Since both my friend, Timothy, and I equally love these creatures, it only followed that once I received mine, I would obtain one for him. He was both pleased and happy to receive such an unique and beautiful gift.

I had not thought to be charmed by an octopus, though they are cool creatures in real life. But this depiction of sea life was something I wanted to my great surprise & I am happy that I bought it. I'm wearing it now!

This exquisite piece is such a unique one of a kind piece of jewelry, i just love it. As with all the other pieces I've gotten with blue topaz at Novica, the stone color is really light but still a beauty. A mermaid should really have a vibrant color stone in it, even if it's just a crystal or simulated stone.
