My 50th wedding anniversary bracelet...

Product picture

This bracelet is absolutely stunning and perfect in every way! It's delicate looking, and the stones are brilliant. They are also flat so the bracelet doesn't catch on clothing. I so like knowing it is handmade, and being able to "meet" the artist through picture and information on the website. Thank you for your amazing talent! And Novica's mission to spread happiness, with their one core value, LOVE, makes this the best anniversary bracelet ever!

Astounding!!!

The piece looks so elegant, just like the pictures. The artisan pays so much attention to detail but not just in its design. It is made very securely so as to not break or fall off the chain. A great buy and it took less than a week to arrive. I am very happy with this buy!!

The Iolite Pendant

Iolite pendants are a treasure to behold. Paired with silver or gold vermeil, the gem's blue-violet glow is forever captivating. In ancient times, mariners used iolite as a compass; they believed it turned a different shade of blue-violet when held to the northern or the southern skies. It was also said to unlock an artist's creativity, which may hold true to this day. Visit Novica's gallery of iolite pendant and be a witness to the boundless creativity of artisan silversmiths worldwide.

Shanker pairs sapphire and iolite in a flower necklace. So pleased was he with his original design, he repeated it in a pair of sterling silver earrings.
