Happy wife, happy life!
I bought this bracelet for my wife, in part because she loves jade, and because she has a South American jade pendant, but noting to match with it. The leaves were a bit bigger than I would've liked. She is 5'1" and the leaves are a bit bulky in appearance to her. The bracelet is really well designed and will not be falling apart anytime soon. Because she likes to be active functionality is a key element to anything she'll wear on a daily basis. The jade is a lovely cloudy green which she adores. It matches her pendant perfectly. Frankly my only complaint is that the box it shipped in was kinda worn and not as new as I would've liked. I'm not sure if that's Novica's problem or the artist's. Out of fairness, I gave the artist 5 stars, but the condition of the cloth jewelry box was kind of annoying, particularly because my wife has some other Novice boxes, and this one looks a bit trashy next to the others.
Beautiful bracelet
The silver work is stunning and the stones are sparkling. As much as I love this bracelet I may return it. The prasiolite sparkles but I feel the subtle color disappears against my medium brown complexion. And the fit is a little tight for me. I will wait to see how it looks in different lighting. I will follow this artist as I’m sure future designs using other gemstones will work for me.
Such beautiful workmanship!
This bracelet has definitely become a "go to" piece of jewelry for me. The intricate workmanship and lovely pieces of malachite combine to make it stunning. I had been a bit worried about the toggle closure, because I've had problems with them before, but this one closes quite easily and remains securely closed while I'm wearing it. I'm proud to own this bracelet!
