Beautiful Handmade Necklace
I bought this necklace for my mother in law and showed the Novica website with her. I wanted to buy her a beautiful necklace with a beautiful message to support artists in other parts of the world. When I gave her birthday gift, it matched the outfit that she was wearing perfectly. Not only did she love the gift but I think she appreciated the sentiment behind it.

Gorgeous pearl & garnet pendant necklace
This is absolutely lovely! I liked it so much that i ordered two more and intend to convert them into earrings to match the pendant! PLEASE :PLEASE PLEASE ----- consider increasing the size of some of your exquisite bracelets to fit the wrists of us larger ladies. Many of us wear size 8. And most of the beautiful bracelets on this site only fit sizes 5.5, 6 or 7. I have no doubt that were some of these lovely bracelets made in larger sizes, many many more would be in demand!! Thanks. And i sure do hope that this plea reaches some of the very talented artists on this site.

Prized for their beauty since ancient times, pearls possess a mesmerizing luster and natural glow. In the Roman Empire, pearls represented social status and wealth, and Cleopatra is said to have owned beautiful gems. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was born from the sea. When she emerged, the droplets of water on her body became pearls.
Pearl necklaces come in a variety of styles. The pearl choker measures between 16 and 18 inches in length while pearl necklaces between 17 and 19 inches are princess necklaces. Those from 20 to 24 inches are known as matinee style, and the opera pearl necklace varies from 28 to 32 inches in length.
