I ordered this necklace, originally, in January and when it arrived was disappointed that there were not more reds and oranges. So I sent it back, but still liked the necklace style. It was suggested that if I still liked it to reorder from another shipment. So I retuned the necklace and reordered it in another month. I just received it today and would like to personally thank the designer Harriet Faako Adjei for her lovely necklace. It is JUST PERFECT with 2 big red and orange round beads and polished agates. I am a jewelry designer in the U.S. and also make big statement pieces so I really appreciated Harriets design. It was going to be a gift, but i love this piece so much that I am going to keep it and include one of my designs as the gift for a friend. I will keep telling my friends about NOVICA site and encourage them to find unique art designs there. A big hug to you Harriet Faako Adjei as we are now sister artists and I send you love as I wear your necklace.

This looks great with a simple black dress--everyone at this gala event commented on it! My favorite necklace!

And I didnt even have to remove my shoes! The exquisite artistry strung in wooden beads speaks volumes of a vibrant culture. One can vicariously imagine the pulse of,say, a market on the outskirts of Accra where I might haggle good-naturedly over the price of her creation with Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor! Africa travels well. kudos to the artisans of NOVICA!Thank You Elizabeth!John.
