I purchased this item for my teenaged son. He loved it, but loved it even more when it came with a hand-signed card from the artisan. Now when people compliment him on it, he recounts the artist's story.
I am sure there is also a testimonial for these.... I purchased them several years ago. I love buying ornaments from Novica. I keep one and give the rest away as gifts. One friend collects bell ornaments and she was thrilled to get one of the "Bells of Hope and Joy".
