handcrafted

This is the third long necklace I purchased that is part of Aparna?s collection (I also got the citrine and amethyst ones), and once again I was not disappointed with my choice! The piece is very well made, with each stone carefully selected, clear of inclusions and well faceted. The necklace can be worn as one long strand, or as two shorter ones. It is very versatile, and could complement perfectly a formal or more casual look. I highly recommend this product and this artisan!

This is one of only two pieces I'm buying *twice* to have a backup in case my "primary" one is ever damaged, lost, or stolen. (The other is Bhavesh's "Scarlet Droplets", which I purchased/reviewed on another site Novica works with before finding Novica's own website). This necklace is perfect against my light golden-olive skin and long dark brown hair, especially when I'm wearing brown, rust, olive, or deep teal-colored clothing. I've read that brown, gold, and orange are supposed to be the least "romantic" colors to wear if you're trying to attract a mate in the USA, but no fewer than THREE men have tried to give me their phone numbers while I was wearing this necklace. Maybe it's magic? :) (Hoping that someday Bhavesh will create a 16"-17" link or waterfall necklace in these colors... that would be my absolute dream necklace) If you look good in earth tones/autumn colors, definitely consider buying this piece!

I love this bracelet. I fits my small wrist perfectly, and is so light, I barely feel it. LOVE IT!!! The smoky color is wonderful.
