"Lovely Silver Link Bracelet"

I was very pleased to receive this bracelet as its unique and so well made and also includes the pretty divine heart charm. I pair it up with another silver bracelet. My daughter loved it when she saw it, so I ordered one for her as a gift and she loves it - wears it by itself. Novica products do not disappoint!

"think of it more as a dainty choker..."

even my husband liked this...and i am such a fan of oxidized silver...normally i only go for longer necklaces, which i would love to see here, on a more supple chain/threading... however, this is suitably enchanting on its own choker-like and slightly stiff scale...the only complaint i have is the clasp, which could be more smoothly functional and less prone to twisting... and perhaps more charming...maybe oxidized...

"Love these beautiful earrings!"

I bought these to go with two new tops, and they were perfect for them. I love how lightweight and delicate these earrings are and the fact that theyre not too long. They are quite lovely!

"beautiful!"

These earrings are absolutely beautiful. The opal is such a beautiful color. The earrings are very light, which I love, and the length is perfect. I have ordered a number of times from Teodoro Melendez and Family and have always been very impressed by the great workmanship. Thank you!
