I’ve been shopping at Novica for the last 4 years. I love the unique items, reasonable costs, and helping the artists make a fair profit on the goods they worked so hard to produce.

— Vandna Rani

Handmade items support artists and that makes me feel honored to have a piece of their heart.

— Julie Lynn Wasson

Handmade means the person designed and took time to create, which makes it unique and far more interesting than massmade items.

— Annette Duran

Handmade pieces feel alive — they tell a story, hold emotion, and bring warmth that no factory could ever create.

I have been shopping at Novica for years. Love that everything is handmade and that each purchase makes a difference to that artist.

Great gifts at great prices. What’s not to love — a great artisan-made gift for the same or lesser price than commercially-made, mass produced. This is better all around.

Exquite material, craftsmanship and artistry!”

Not only are these earrings simple, beautiful and well-made but they pair wonderfully with a necklace I recently purchased from Efrain Espinoza (Wood and multi-gemstone beaded, Corcovado Color). A smart Novica shopper will shop the world to pair their purchases for that Complete Look. Im happy to support the planet. Novica makes it easy.

Working with Disabilities

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.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

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

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.
