One of my very favorite piece of jewelry
I love this bracelet! It arrived ahead of schedule. It is incredibly well made, comfortable to wear and beautiful to look at. It has become one of my 3 favorite bracelets, so I wear it a lot. Each time, I picture Uluwatu Altar up on the cliff overlooking the ocean, and I think of the skillfulness, the care and the love that Komang Suastra put into this bracelet. Many thanks to him and to Novica for making it available to us.
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.
