My new "go to" bracelet.
I'm a visual artist and I love what I call "artsy jewelry", but because I meet with customers to paint their portraits, I also want to look professional, and I need a cuff style to wear while painting so it won't get in the way. I had a favorite that I wore so much for over 30 years that it finally has broke. Sadly I had to replace it and so I visited the various art and craft shows and businesses in my area but to no avail. I was on the search for something that looked unique, handcrafted, quality, yet casual. I thought I'd never find the perfect bracelet and almost gave up. Then it occurred to me to try looking on novica. I put in the filter sterling silver cuff bracelets. When this image appeared I read the description and hoped this might be "it". I ordered and it arrived within a few days! I put it right on and it's perfect! Exactly what I need - "artsy", upscale yet casual, comfortable cuff, and professional looking, I'm so excited about my new "go to" bracelet! Thank you!
Outstanding quality, just gorgeous Sparkling Dew e
I don't usually buy depictions of people, but...
I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
