A beautiful Valentines Day gift
I purchased this box as a sweet gift for my 18-year old for Valentines Day. It arrived in plenty of time, and was incredibly beautiful. I was a little apprehensive just because of the medium used, but since I have had such lovely experiences with Novica in the past, I went ahead and purchased it. I had no idea that papier mache could come out so beautifully. The quality of the workmanship was beyond what I was hoping for. It was absolutely meticulously made and packaged beautifully as well. Thanks so much!

A lovely piece!
I have a collection of gorgeous, small boxes of many different kinds, materials and finishes. This beauty caught my eye immediately and is a wonderful addition to my collection. It is unique from any of the others and is so lovely on its own. I will put some of my newly acquired Novica pieces of jewelry in it as I have it in a location which is convenient for that use and perfect to keep it safe. This is my first piece from Ana Maria, but I am so pleased that I will be reviewing her collection for other lovely pieces for both myself and my lucky gift recipients! Thanks Ana Maria and Novica!! I highly recommend this and believe you will be as pleased as I am with Ana Maria's work!
