"Beautiful gift for my best friend."

This ring is so simple and beautiful. I've been to Guatemala 3 times now and everytime I'm there I fall in love with the jewlery in the markets. I wanted to find a way to continue shopping in Guatemala while at home and Novica gave me that! This artist did an amazing job, this ring is in perfect condition and it's a beautiful stone. It's perfect for a gift, because it comes with a great story. I'm happy to support artisans in the country I love because they are truly talented and the world needs to know. I look forward to shopping more with this artist, this is my second ring I've bought from her and they're both beautiful.

"This is a beauty!"

This ring is simply beautiful. The sizing is perfect. The stone looks almost black but the green shines through in the light. I?m very happy with my purchase and will surely be a lifelong Novica shopper. The mission speaks to me and I reap the benefits for myself and in gifts to others!
