My daughter, Becky, recently made a purchase of these beautiful amethyst earring studs:
She really had a hard time deciding on which earrings to get, because they have so many different and unique ones, from Amethyst Dangle Earrings, to Garnet Dangle Earrings,
Amber Earrings, Silver Pendant Necklaces and Silver Cocktail Rings.
When Becky’s package from Novica arrived, it included a very nice card from the artist who created the earrings:
The earrings were packaged in a very nice gift box as well:
A photo go the artist was also included:
Becky is loving her amethyst earrings:

I ADORE Novica – and given that there are currently over 350 items on my Novica Wish List (!) It’s pretty hard to figure out what I would use this very generous GC for without giving it a lot of thought! In the past I’ve mostly bought jewelry – and more recently three handbags – but I have many other types of items high on my list – including quite a few sculptures/statues.
One of my favorite artists is Ning Charoensri of Thailand. I love many of her wood statuettes, especially “INVITATION”! Thank you so much for the very fine giveaway!
