I had a all girls gathering last week and it was great to meet some of my old schoolmates during the session. One of them was talking about her weight loss stories and what she did with Leptovox while I was sharing with them the wonderful finds I had in online jewelry shopping.

Citrine and carnelian choker, 'Chrysanthemum Trio' Citrine and carnelian choker, ‘Chrysanthemum Trio’ Layers of delicate citrine petals form chrysanthemums centered with carnelian. The beautiful trio poses on a choker with Busarin’s hallmark styling. Faceted crystals and glittering beads complement the natural gemstones.

From gemstones to handmade fine jewelry, you can find all kinds of artisan works – handcrafted rugs, handpainted vases…etc. These handmade jewelry are crafted with dedication and skillful hands by artists from all over the world. Whether it’s wedding jewelry or just a keepsake jewelry, you can find all kinds of handmade jewelry in Novica.com. Shop to experience for yourself the artisan handiworks of these talented artists.

Everyday, the artisan world market is growing with more independent artists and creative designers jumping onto the bandwagon. I was going to read up some diet pill reviews when I was distracted by some artistic finds in novica again.

Any seen an alpaca or pet one before? While I was studying in Perth ten years ago, I visited an alpaca farm. At first sight, I found the animals a little ‘weird’ looking but after spending a few moments beholding their mannerisms, I found that to be one of the mildest animals. Gentle and meek, a little like sheep and a camel.

So when I saw this alpaca wool wrap at Novica, I find a little warm. Peru’s Alfredo Falcon fashions this beautiful, full length wrap from a luxurious alpaca blend. Unparalleled in softness and warmth, this elegant wrap is a must for winter wardrobe. He combines weaving by hand and on classic machinery, remaining true to Inca and colonial motifs. I would like for the world to receive through my work high quality products, with modern colors and traditional motifs.

This is a great online store for me when I need an original tapestry or a pair of artisan earrings for an occasion. Besides the creative range of ceramics and pottery which make great family gift ideas, there is a huge collection of shawls, scarves and wraps for those who are seeking an artisan touch.

Silk batik scarf, 'Feminine'

This silk batik scarf stole my heart this morning when I was searching for a birthday gift for my close sister friend who had been on Lipovox for a while. She is that sort of gal who gets very conscious about her flabby tummy and extra weight after the birthday of her second newborn.

This Silk batik scarf, ‘Feminine’ shows soft pastel colors make this a very feminine fashion accessory from Melati’s Collection. Working in batik, Artisan Melati creates delightful floral motifs and graceful ferns on a fringed silk scarf.


This morning, I was greeted by a nice website design change at Novica.com. Perhaps the site design had been changed for a while and I had sort of missed it due to a very busy schedule. Novica is a great place to shop for Handmade and Unique Clothing and Accessories from Around the World. I love their artisan jewelry collection especially the ones crafted with sparkling and colourful gemstones and quality silver. They are original, creative and unique for indie shoppers who like an artistic touch to their accessory treasures.
