A delightfully elegant ring
Friends who have commented on this gorgeous ring agree that the piece deserves a more accurate descriptor than "cocktail ring." It could easily be a wedding / commitment ring for an individual who is brave enough to break from tradition. The term "cocktail ring" recalls images of flashy stones, bordering on garish. This lovely pale green stone set in a highly polished sterling band, is the opposite of garish; the artisans have skillfully selected, cut, and polished the jade, showcasing its appealing, discrete beauty. The stone is precisely as pictured in the photo in terms of color and proportion, but it is highly polished, as befits the setting. Many rings with semi-precious stones can be thick and clunky, with rough edges and sloppy soldering. This piece was masterfully created, with not a rough edge to be found. My complements to the talented Jimenez family.

Happy wife, happy life!
I bought this bracelet for my wife, in part because she loves jade, and because she has a South American jade pendant, but noting to match with it. The leaves were a bit bigger than I would've liked. She is 5'1" and the leaves are a bit bulky in appearance to her. The bracelet is really well designed and will not be falling apart anytime soon. Because she likes to be active functionality is a key element to anything she'll wear on a daily basis. The jade is a lovely cloudy green which she adores. It matches her pendant perfectly. Frankly my only complaint is that the box it shipped in was kinda worn and not as new as I would've liked. I'm not sure if that's Novica's problem or the artist's. Out of fairness, I gave the artist 5 stars, but the condition of the cloth jewelry box was kind of annoying, particularly because my wife has some other Novice boxes, and this one looks a bit trashy next to the others.
