Delicate And Feminine Is How I would Describe Cloud Forest From Novica

When I think of precious and semi-precious stones there are several that stand out to me and that I like more than others. The two that would be right near the top would be Pearls and Peridot. Pearls because of the beautiful luster they have and how they feel against my skin. Peridot, because it is my birthstone.


I have the most beautiful necklace from Novica named Cloud Forest, that has both of those stones in one beautiful creation and I could not be happier! This has to be one of my favorite pieces of jewelry ever! This necklace has cream and moss green cultured freshwater pearls and polished natural peridot stones. The blend of the beads is so simple and beautiful. It lays really nicely on your neck and feels amazing. It is light weight and feels as airy as it looks. It has one very special touch that I have only seen on old jewelry that was my Mother's and Grandmother's. It has a small peridot stone at the end of the extender chain.


I have worn this necklace several times in the last week or so, and I have been really surprised at the compliments. People have mentioned how they love the color combination and how delicate the strands look. It is a very feminine necklace, yet not cutesy or in your face in the design. it goes well with a variety of looks and compliments especially people with green eyes, like me.


The artisan who designed this beautiful piece is Sasina and she is from the northern part of Thailand. Sasina said, "I craft jewelry with my good friend Busarin, who is also a Novica-featured artisan. I love jewelry so much that the need to adorn my body with it is mandatory. My favorite is the earring, because it is little yet can subtly decorate the wearer."


I can really appreciate how she feels and agree with her. Even one small piece of jewelry completes a look and can help make you feel and look special.

Something Every Mom Would Love For Mother's Day

Beautiful jewelry is something I truly appreciate, but I appreciate it even more when I know the company is helping others. Novica is one such company.


This necklace is a wonderful, handcrafted piece that can be worn with so many things. It is called Blue Clove and is a wonderful piece to wear.


The primary stones in the piece are Lapis Lazuli. The blue of lapis lazuli is such a lovely blue that is will coordinate with so many other colors. It's kind of like wearing blue jeans, they work with everything! There are also Cultured Freshwater Pearls that are all grey and of varying sizes. There is also Aventurine. Those are the lovely green and brownish colored stones. The small red stones are Carnelian, which is a lovely semi-precious stone that is the color of red. It is quiet and not in your face red, that accents the other colors beautifully. All of the colors on this necklace work so well together and make a wonderful statement.


Each and every piece is carefully hand knotted in place. There are stainless steel accent pieces holding specific beads at wonderful angles to show them off in the design like branches from a vine, and offer a beautiful floral design without being overly floral.


The artist of this piece is Sasina Leerasawatdiampon, who is one of Novica's featured artisans from Thailand. I love how Novica works with artisans in third world countries, helping them develop their talents and to share the products around the world.


This piece came with a lovely cloth gift bag and a small booklet telling you about the piece and the artisan who made it. I enjoy learning about an artisan like this. It gives the piece a more personal feeling for me.


I highly recommend this piece to you. It is something you can wear with a number of outfits. It sits so well at the base of your neck and does not twist or turn. It works well with casual to dressed up outfits and can go with so many different colors of clothing.
