"Simple, elegant, instant favorite"
This is a very nice, simple yet beautiful bracelet. Elegant but well made, it has held up wonderfully for the last (over) 6 months; looking good as new despite never leaving my wrist. Also goes great with the necklace I purchased from the same artisans. Reasonable shipping, nice packaging as you d expect from Novica. Definitely recommended.

"Genuine Jade"
This a simple bracelet but good looking. I thought that it was bigger size, for me is perfect. It is 10 millimeters the bead and the cord is 2 millimeters. I highly recommend this bracelet, especially for people that never used any bracelet before.

I?m not a jewelry person, but when I saw this bracelet, I had to order it. Understated and timeless design. Looking forward to ordering more of Ruben and Gilda?s work.

Working with Disabilities
One of Ruben and Gilda's assistants was in a motorcycle accident several years ago. He injured his foot, which left him without a job. Ruben and Gilda have hired this man with pride as he is a hard worker and a great asset to their team.

Ruben and Gilda's parents taught them the value of hard work and that art is an expression of culture. Many of their designs include jade, which was highly valued by ancient civilizations in the area and used as ornaments, tools, and burial artifacts. Their artwork is often a reflection of Guatemalan culture and they used techniques passed down over generations.
Moving On Up
Thanks to their hard work and partnership with NOVICA, Ruben and Gilda have been able to build their own house and support their children's education. They hope to continue to grow their sales through NOVICA so they do not have to seek out other, more complicated markets.
Microcredit Financing
Ruben and Gilda Perez has received 8 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $400 and the most recent for $5000. Proceeds were used to invest in a bulk purchase of silver to craft jewelry for the holiday season.

Their youngest son faces many health challenges but every day they work to give him a normal life without limitations. Ruben and Gilda are amazing parents who strive everyday to give their children the best life possible.
