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.

Classy and Unique
The pendant is elegant and classy, makes a statement with its simplicity and clean finish. The intricate silver design at the back makes it really special and unique, almost like having a hidden treasure in a locket. The artisan went the extra mile to match the colour of jade with my other purchase (earrings) as well as my pre-existing ring which I purchased during a trip to Guatemala. To achieve this she had to search for the right stone and create the jewelry de novo just for me :-). She did a marvelous job, creating a perfect set out of three independent pieces. Muchas gracias, Zhandra! And none of this attention to my specific needs would have been possible without an absolutely stellar customer service by Dallas who never gave up on trying to make this happen, even when the shipment got lost. Through this experience I have developed a great respect for Novica and its principles. A big THANK YOU to everyone involved, including the Central America Office.
