Gorgeous, rich in color.

Product picture

My wrist is a bit thin and I wish there was a way to tighten it without having so much dangle (I'll find a way), but otherwise: gorgeous! It's simple but rich in appearance, and I am a lover of green and gold mixtures.

Matches the necklance and bracelet perfectly!

Product picture

After receiving a gift card for Novica, I purchased the Peony Romance necklace and bracelet, and was very happy with them, but didn't have any earrings that would go with them. As the earrings are called Thai Joy, it took me a little while to find them, but they match the other pieces perfectly! Very happy with the quality and the look of these. They are very unusual, colorful and pretty. Some may feel they are a bit "old fashioned" rather than sleek and modern, but if you like this type of jewelry, I would definitely recommend!!

Earth Colors and Gold Bells

Product picture

First of all, I love the name, "Voice of the Forest" and the colors of this wrap are deep turquoise green, chocolate brown with strands of gold beads. 3 gold bells very quietly end the wrap and can be crisscrossed in and out. I love jewelry I can play with and find interesting criss-cross patterns during times of thinking and dreaming.

Serpentine Jewelry

Believed to inspire respect for the elderly, longevity, retrieval of ancient wisdom and remembrance of past lives, serpentine comes in shades of green, olive, ochre, brown and black. The stone is so named because it is thought to resemble a snake's skin, and finer specimens can be mistaken for jade. New Zealand's Maori people carved serpentine objects called tangiwai, or "tears."

Novica introduces serpentine jewelry from talented artisans and silversmiths around the world. The stone is especially popular with our Andean jewelers such as Patricia Jara and Claudia Lira and Zoila Tassara. Patricia Jara's designs are modern, but their bold geometry recalls Inca monuments. Claudia Lira favors circular shapes for silver necklaces and gemstone pendants. Zoila Tassara's work is lacy and feminine; she creates serpentine, sodalite and rose quartz necklaces crocheted by hand from strands of pure silver.

Our Serpentine Jewelry Collection features predominantly sterling silver pieces set with unique serpentine accents. Our distinctive assortment of serpentine necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings includes something for every occasion.
