Gorgeous dolphin pendant!
I applaud Mr. Krainer?s artistry and craftsmanship on this pendant. I have seen smaller, less detailed pendants for $180! Not only is the detail on the front gorgeous - the back has a beautiful filagree design that allows you to see the larimar there as well. Few artists demonstrate such care and detail on the back of a pendant! It is not too heavy and just the right size if you don?t want a huge pendant. This was given to me as a birthday present. I chose this over the inferior and overpriced pendants in department stores because of the attention to detail and knowing that this purchase will help Mr. Krainer?s work. This certainly would make a great heirloom piece.
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.
