Quality piece
I have a small wrist and took a chance buying this (hoping that the site measurements--smaller than many other bracelets sold by Novica--were accurate) simply because I thought it was beautiful online. The bracelet didn't disappoint in person--it fits well, is beautifully crafted, and features nice stones/pearls. This is not the first piece I have bought from Buana and it won't be the last--each is a quality piece at a reasonable price.
Nicely detailed, sterling silver cuff bracelet
I recently purchased this beautiful sterling silver cuff elephant design bracelet. I love it! The detail is exquisite, and it has good weight to it. The only negative is the size. Like so many bracelets that I've bought from NOVICA artisans, this cuff bracelet is HUGE, and I do not have "dainty" wrists. Since it's a cuff, I can apply gentle pressure to close it tighter, but I do not want to misshape it, so I have to be very careful. Even at its tightest, this bracelet fits more like a bangle, falling down to the top of my hand, instead staying tightly cuffed around my wrist. This seems to be a regular occurrence from NOVICA artists. I love the uniqueness and the craftsmanship of NOVICA jewelry, but the craftsmen often size women's bracelets too big.

Moon Sliver earrings
These are just lovely. They are a bit bigger than the listed measurements--maybe 3/16's or so. This is probably b/c they are handcrafted and no two pairs are exact, which makes them even more special. I love them, but I'm a pretty small person, so I actually shortened them by bending the post-wire just a bit and snipping about 1/4 of an inch off. It brought them up to just the right spot. They are solid and well made. Thank-you, Nyoman Rena. LOVE!
