Jewelry - Supporting Artisans Uplifting Communities

I was very impressed by the workmanship and detail. It was like history for me since I was not familiar with the Banyan tree and how unique it is to India. The Amethyst is the perfect size for the necklace, and I love it.

This was my fourth purchase through Novica, and once again it did not disappoint. The Pu-Tai pendant by Made Sudiari is exquisitely crafted and finished, and in my opinion is the best depiction of Pu-Tai in a miniature pendant version I have ever seen. The only minor change I made was to transfer the pendant to a slightly longer silver chain as the original cord it comes with is leather and I did not want to damage it with fairly regular exposure to water, but I have kept the original leather cord and may transfer it back some day. However, I am 100% pleased with my purchase and recommend this artist without reservation. She is truly a skilled craftsperson and I will look for her work again when I need gifts for family or friends in future. Certainly suitable I think for a man or a woman, and again beautifully and carefully crafted with amazing attention to detail. Thank you Made Sudiari! Thank you, Novica!

'Blessed Buddha', pendant necklace is as pictured, dainty, beautiful, serene. The amethyst does not look like an amethyst...not much color. But does not take away from the appearance of the pendant. The tiny cultured pearls have a sheen. The ears are carved elongated as seen on Buddhist statues. Happy to add 'Blessed Buddha' to cow bone collection.
