My new favorite set of jewelry
Testimonial by happytobehere on April 23, 2016
Testimonial For Rita Addo Zakour
Today I received the Praises necklace and coordinating earrings that I ordered from Rita. I was so impressed by both of them! The stones on the necklace are smoothed and lay comfortably against the skin. The center accent is beautifully done and matches the earrings extremely well. The earrings are large and bold while being comfortable in weight. I absolutely love both of them!

Testimonial For Alfredo Falcon
Mr. Falcon's sweater and cape are among some of my favorite apparel items. They are lightweight and yet still warm. I took the sweater with me on a trip to visit my aunt in the mountains of CO and she could not believe how lovely it was. The cape is longer than I expected and I do need to be careful so that it will not snag. I am of average height for a US woman so the cape would still work well for those who are taller than I. Fantastic!
"When I was a small child, my parents began teaching me to knit. Like me, they learned them from their own parents. So we are a family devoted to the world of textile arts for generations."
