“Vivacious Verdant recycled glass earringsA”

A pretty soft green. Love the twist and the fact the earrings are made out of recycled glass. Would like the hooks a bit longer.

“Beyond Expectations”

This was my first Novica purchase, so I was wary. But I was blown away by the quality of the piece and very happy with the size. Shipping was much faster than I anticipated based on the delivery window I was provided, and the item was well-packaged for protection of the artwork. The gift wrapping was beautiful, as well! Overall, everything about this purchase exceeded my expectations, and I am a very satisfied customer. I would purchase from this artist again oh, and have I already purchased from Novica several times now!

“Great bracelet”

This is a fun and attractive bracelet that compliments any outfit. Great colors and it stays in place. I don?t have large wrists and it was a rather snug fit, plenty of room to get it on and not be tight, but not for someone with large wrists.
