I’m no stranger to Novica.com. I had heard about it prior to writing this review. My husband had order a few pieces of jewelry for me from the site. I had ordered a few things myself. Everything I have received has been quality, well made pieces.
Novica connects buyers from all over the word to artisans from all over the world. You can read about the artist that’s hand crafting the item you buy. The artists are highly skilled at their craft. It’s particularly moving to read how the artists, who were barely getting buy, can now have a better life for their families working through Novica. It makes me feel better knowing exactly where and who my purchase is coming from and that someone took their time to create the piece I ordered.
The jewelry section is amazing. I particularly like the Jade necklaces on the site. I remembering being told at one point that depending on the color of Jade jewelry that you have it is supposed to represent something different. Green Jade, I believe, was supposed to represent good luck.
If you’re looking of
unique gifts but want it to be affordable and something exciting to give, Novica has a good selection of artisan created gifts. They’re even broke down into price categories, gifts for her, gifts for him, and more.
I’m partial to the hand blown glass section. I’ve always been interested in the process of making hand blown glass creations. I’ve watched shows on tv about it and I think “wow you’d really have to know what you’re doing” to create some of the beautiful pieces I’ve seen. On a previous order I had ordered a set of 4 hand blown, etched wine glasses. I’m so happy with them.
With hand blown glass, each and every piece is unique, from the bubbles in the glass to small differences in each one. When I did this review I couldn’t help but go back to the hand blown glass section after the excellent craftmanship on my wine glasses. This time I picked out the glass pitcher called “
Emerald Spiral“. Then I saw they had matching tumblers to go with the pitcher so I just had to get those too. The tumblers are also
Emerald Spiral and come in a set of 6.
When I received my package, everything was packaged with care. I received a postcard from the region (Mexico) with a hand written not on the post card. Here is the picture of my lovely pitcher and tumblers I received.
You could see the bubbles inside the glass and the area at the bottom of each glass and the pitcher as well where it had been broke off the device they use to blow the glass. Javier and Efron do beautiful work. I can’t wait to make some home made lemonade or sun tea in the pitcher and see outside with the family in the warm summer sun.
While I was on Novica I also found a beautiful
marble tic tac toe set. I thought my kids might enjoy playing it with me. It’s so pretty though it would be wonderful to set out on a coffee table (once my toddler gets a little older). I snapped a picture of this before we started playing with it.
This is made with natural stone and marble. It has the smooth cold feel of marble. I’m not entirely sure what the pieces are made out of, but they are some type of stone as well. The circles seem to be made of something like a quartz. The black X’s, i’m not entirely sure but the whole set is very nice.
I’m very happy with my order from
Novica.com. I will certainly keep going back. My husband loves shopping the jewelry for gifts for me and for his mother. I don’t have any complaints 🙂

I love the Jade set shown in the photo. I have never shopped at Novica either but think I have seen or heard of them somewhere along the way.
