gifts from around the world

Another reviewer reported that the silver is not uniformly shiny. This is true. The top side of the flower petals has some darker color which, in my opinion, allows one to better see and appreciate the detail. The ring is very attractive and certainly looks much more expensive than it is. My wife has a big job interview on Monday, and she says she is looking forward to wearing this ring to that interview. She is very good at what she does, and I'm not saying this ring will affect the interviewers' perceptions but, if it makes her feel a bit more confident, it cannot hurt!

Just arrived today, this bracelet by Komang Suastra is beautifully constructed and elegantly designed. The Borobudur and Naga link chain that are so much a part of Indonesian culture combine to provide a very formidable and powerful piece of jewelry that certainly deserves the name, "Basuki Dragon". Even the heavy duty box clasp with safety latch that holds the bracelet together has a slight internal curve to match the curve of the chain. All in all, an outstanding piece of silverwork. Also, as always, the item was well packed for its' journey half way around the world and delivery via the express shipping option was very fast. Once again, thank you, Komang Suastra and thank you, Novica for world class quality and service.
