My piece was a gift so it came wrapped. I 100% trust Novica and its artisans. I know for a fact my weightlifter is made to perfection. I've purchsed pieces from "Armando Ramirez" in the past and his craftmanship is exceptional. He is super creative and has a big imagination.
Although these can be worn at a formal occasion, there is NO reason why not to wear them any day and enjoy! The detail and craftsmanship is impressive! I will cherish these for many years to come.
This is unbelievably gorgeous! I gave it as a gift to a woman who had lost her son. When she called me to thank me she was crying at the beauty of it! It feels so good to give a quality handmade gift! You cannot buy something like this just anywhere.
