Stunning necklace

Product picture

The pendant is gorgeous in every way. The silver work is perfection, the stones are of substantial size, yet in proportion to the graceful design, and their colors are bright, clear, and vivid. Many chakra items present their stones in a straight alignment which is beautiful in its own way, but I am drawn to this circular arrangement which echoes the spinning vortexes of our chakras. Many thanks to Alok Jain for this insightful design, rendered with his superb workmanship and artistry.

My 50th wedding anniversary bracelet...

Product picture

This bracelet is absolutely stunning and perfect in every way! It's delicate looking, and the stones are brilliant. They are also flat so the bracelet doesn't catch on clothing. I so like knowing it is handmade, and being able to "meet" the artist through picture and information on the website. Thank you for your amazing talent! And Novica's mission to spread happiness, with their one core value, LOVE, makes this the best anniversary bracelet ever!

The Iolite Pendant

Iolite pendants are a treasure to behold. Paired with silver or gold vermeil, the gem's blue-violet glow is forever captivating. In ancient times, mariners used iolite as a compass; they believed it turned a different shade of blue-violet when held to the northern or the southern skies. It was also said to unlock an artist's creativity, which may hold true to this day. Visit Novica's gallery of iolite pendant and be a witness to the boundless creativity of artisan silversmiths worldwide.

Shanker pairs sapphire and iolite in a flower necklace. So pleased was he with his original design, he repeated it in a pair of sterling silver earrings. Neeru Goel has a flair for combining iolite pendants with peridot to create a dazzling rainbow of colors along with other gems. In a heart necklace, an iolite pendant is certain to evoke admiration.
