Butterfly Taxco Silver Statement Necklace, 'Monarc
6 years ago I bought a single monarch butterfly pendant from this artist. Years and many experiences later, this new one symbolizes the triumph of the cycle of life. It was a delight to pull out of the package. There is no question to its quality. The silver is thick and detailed. The two hanging butterflies have wings that are lifted up at a slight angle, not just flat – an extra design element. All butterfly wings have very nice detail. Note that the necklace chain and the chain of the two hanging butterflies are of two different links, this may bother some, but it all blends nicely in person. This artist does quality work. Don’t worry about the appropriateness of wearing if you are post 40 – it’s not a teenager cheap look at all and will make you very happy to wear.
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.
