My new "go to" bracelet.
I'm a visual artist and I love what I call "artsy jewelry", but because I meet with customers to paint their portraits, I also want to look professional, and I need a cuff style to wear while painting so it won't get in the way. I had a favorite that I wore so much for over 30 years that it finally has broke. Sadly I had to replace it and so I visited the various art and craft shows and businesses in my area but to no avail. I was on the search for something that looked unique, handcrafted, quality, yet casual. I thought I'd never find the perfect bracelet and almost gave up. Then it occurred to me to try looking on novica. I put in the filter sterling silver cuff bracelets. When this image appeared I read the description and hoped this might be "it". I ordered and it arrived within a few days! I put it right on and it's perfect! Exactly what I need - "artsy", upscale yet casual, comfortable cuff, and professional looking, I'm so excited about my new "go to" bracelet! Thank you!
Reborn and beautiful
These were purchased because I think the mythical bird they represent is the phoenix. It burns to ashes and is reborn. These are symbolic of that rebirth and on the ear, they definitely are those others will want to come closer to see. They are just the right length. They have enough presence to not get hidden or forgotten. They are special for wearing casually and for a night out on the town. Short hair or hair worn up will definitely draw attention, but they will not get forgotten in long hair either. They are a statement pair of earrings. Definitely detailed in silver of the mythical creature which is ultimately reborn again, and again.
Let us help you look smarter!
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.
