#NOVICA Review and $35 GC Giveaway! Ends 12/16/16

Did you grow up with a subscription to National Geographic? Did you eagerly watch the TV specials? Do you subscribe to NatGeo on Cable?

I did and I do now!

I discovered NOVICA just a few years ago.  Novica is a global market place in associated with National Geographic. It's endeavor is to Empower. Connect. Preserve. 


That they most certainly do! The artisans supported by Novica come from many different regions of the world: The Andes, Bali, Java, India, Mexico, Thailand, West Africa, and Central America.

The items created by these artisans are amazing. From Jewelry to Fashion to Sculpture and more, every piece is crafted with love and skill.

I was blessed to receive this stunningly beautiful Cultured Pearl and Amethyst Necklace with Cross Pendant handmade from India. It retails for $43.19
Five radiant pearls adorn this amethyst cross pendant designed by Neeru Goel.

An artist story card comes with the pendant, so you will know the real person behind the item that you purchased. You may even follow that artist through your Novica account!

Hi! My name is Neeru Goel and I was born on September 19, 1960. I spent most of my childhood in Kolkata, a metropolis in West Bengal. Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood. I have been greatly inspired by my grandmother who used to look into each and every detail, from how jewelry is made to what had been used to make the jewelry. I remember when I was just a child, my grandmother used to watch nomads walking on the roads and admire them for wearing huge and fancy jewelry. 
I recently started designing sculptures in silver with Meenakari art. This was suggested by a friend, who by looking at my designing skills thought I could also make a mark in sculpting. I am overwhelmed at this new experience, and I am looking forward to continuing on this new artistic path. 


Novica offers so many options for buy personal and gift items: unique corporate gifts, Decor Accessories, and more.

I am saving up for a birthstone ring for myself.  Are these Opal Rings not amazing? This one is my favourite:

You already know that I'm addicted to Bangles and Bracelets and there are so many beautiful choices. Like chips, you MUST buy more than one!

Now, my second addiction is Handbags. This leather bag just calls for me to bring it home.  It is hand-tooled Mexican leather!

There is something for everyone at Novica.  You rest assured that the money you spend will help the artisans and craftsmen who design and create these awesome pieces of art.

You may connect with NOVICA on their website and Social Media pages:

Helen Ficalora Jewelry Review #helenficalora

I love beautifully crafted jewelry.  A trait passed down to me by my maternal grandmother -- Nanie -- and I believe I've passed it on to my daughters.

I am a fan of Rose Gold. My youngest loves sterling silver. We BOTH love the amazing, delicate, and stunning jewelry collection of Helen Ficalora.

I spent hours gazing at the myriad of styles, designs, colours... so much beauty. My wish list is a mile long.

The brilliant Pave Ladybug Mini Charm in Pink Gold is my favourite -- as my youngest has been called "Ladybug" since her birth.

Another beautiful piece is the Ocean-themed Beach Retreat combination.  It reminds me of the island on which I grew up. :)

Rings, as you may know, are a special passion of mine.  This superb Pink Gold and Diamond Dogwood Flower band calls to my soul.  As a southern girl, the Dogwood is a constant reminder of my life in Georgia.

I was recently very blessed to receive the small, yet simply elegant sterling silver Baby Star Charm.  It is so very delicate and perfect for an equally fine and delicate chain or bracelet.

It came in a beautiful red leather box:

Inside was the lovely Baby Star Charm. 

Morgan receiving the Baby Star Charm! The big smile tells the story!

The sterling silver Baby Star Charm retails for $35.  It is also available in White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Pink Gold.

The woman behind these beautiful pieces is the amazing Helen Ficalora.  This is her story:

The Helen Ficalora Jewelry Collection  is available in fine stores in New York, Beverly Hills, Chicago, Dallas, Bridgehampton, and Palm Beach.

You may connect with Helen Ficalora on her website and social media pages:

Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and @HelenFicalora on Twitter.

Sitara Collections Review and $100 Gift Certificate Sweepstakes Ends 4/15/14

DISCLOSURE:  I received a Pendant Necklace from Sitara Collections for the purpose of this review. I received no monetary compensation.  The opinions expressed herein are my own and based on my own use of and experience with the item(s).

Recently, I was given the opportunity to review an item from the Sitara Collections.  This is an amazing collection of handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry from the exquisitely skilled hands of  European Indians, South American, and French artisans.   

I was truly blessed to receive the most beautiful Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace. 

 Gorgeous, is it not? I wish you could see it in person. It is simply stunning. The turquoise is not the typical blue of which I'm accustomed. Instead, it's a lighter shade of Irish Green with clouds of darker green and black running through it.  It is awesome.

Big on style yet delicate in design, this Nepalese turquoise pendant offers a subtle sophistication to any outfit. Radiant sterling silver plays a glamorous supporting role.

Features: 
*Includes an 18 inch sterling silver snake chain 
*Gemstone: Turquoise, Garnet 
*Pendant Dimensions: 2.25 inches in length x 1.25 inches wide 
*ARV: $68.00

I am a great fan of Turquoise.  Sitara Collections has a wonderful page that will tell you all about a Gemstone's Healing Properties: 
Turquoise: A gemstone steeped in lore and tradition, Turquoise is a healing and balancing stone.

That's perfect for me as I tend to become very stressed ( possible unbalanced as well ;D)

Right now, Sitara Collections is having fabulous sweepstakes! 5 Lucky Winners will win a $100 Sitara Collections Gift Certificate! How cool is that? To enter, just fill out the easy, short entry form on the right, bottom of me sidebar! But hurry! The sweepstakes will end April 15, 2014.

Nano Style Review & Giveaway Ends 10/23/11

I'm sure most of you know that I love jewelry, especially religious-themed jewelry.

Judaic and Christian themes are important to me. I firmly believe that you must know from whence yo came to know where you are going.

When I discovered the stunning Cubic Zirconia and Onyx jewelry of NanoStyle.com I was really excited.

The Christian Jewelry Collection is a stunning array of pendants.

I love the blending of Judaic and Christian symbology in the crafting of the pendants. It appeals to me spiritually as well as aesthetically

Bless your life and your loved ones with the small acts of love.
Fill your daily life with the blessings of God’s presence. NanoStyle is serving the Christian communities with these religious Cross pendants encouraging love and devotion in our daily lives. This collection of faith jewelry includes Christian Cross Pendants, Catholic crucifixes, scriptures and prayers, divine angels and other meaningful religious symbols available in engraved black onyx or cubic zirconia set in sterling silver or 14 karat gold.

I chose the beautiful Messianic Grafted-In Oval Pendant

This Pendant features the Christian symbol of the Fish with the Star of David and the seven-branch candelabra or Menorah. The pendant is so beautiful and so well-crafted. The engraving is clear. The gold on onyx makes a bold statement. It invites comment.

I chose this particular pendant as a gift for my beautiful Lizz. She's a deeply spiritual young woman and has great Faith.

This religious pendant is imprinted with a powerful symbol of the bond between Christianity and Judaism in 24K gold on an oval onyx gemstone. The motif intertwines the Christian symbol of the fish with the Star of David and the seven-branch candelabra signifying the re-emerging bond between Christianity and Judaism. Inscribed within the fish’s body you will find the scriptures Romans 11:24-27, the design is then completed with Paul’s teaching Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in Romans 11:19.

Romans 11:19
Therefore, you would say: The branches were broken off, so that I might be grafted on.

Romans 11:24/ 27
So if you have been cut off from the wild olive tree, which is natural to you, and, contrary to nature, you are grafted on to the good olive tree, how much more shall those who are the natural branches be grafted on to their own olive tree?
For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery (lest you seem wise only to yourselves) that a certain blindness has occurred in Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has arrived.
And in this way, all of Israel may be saved, just as it was written: “From Zion shall arrive he who delivers, and he shall turn impiety away from Jacob. And this will be my covenant for them, when I will take away their sins.”

NanoStyle.com offers so much to it's customers: Tokens of Love, Zodiac, New Age, and so much more!



Each Pendant comes in a lovely Jewelry Box accompanied by a very stylish Key Chain with hidden Magnifying Glass. Very chic!

You can connect with Nano Style on their Social Media Pages: Nano Jewelry Blog, @NanoStyleJewel on Twitter, and on the Nano Jewelry Facebook Page.

The wonderful folks at NanoStyle have generously offered to bless one of my lucky readers with a $25 Gift Certificate to their on-line store!

We had such a great time and it was very successful -- so the wonderful folks at Fantasy Jewelry Box have offered one of our readers another chance to own a beautiful piece of jewelry of their very own!

Today, Liz and I are reviewing Ava's Canary & Diamond CZ Three Stone Ring You'll make heads turn with this unique three stone ring featuring a 2 Carat canary yellow cz center stone and 1 Carat diamond cz cubic zirconia side stones. Crafted in .925 Sterling Silver and detailed with 18 carat gold plating, this ring is sure to cause loud gasps of awe...and maybe even a little jealousy!

Our ring is a size 8 -- so it's mine! (Liz is wearing the first ring we reviewed!)

It's absolutely stunning. It's gleams and sparkles in the sunshine and I've had so many people ask me about it.

The centre stone is a pale canary yellow and sets off the diamond cz side stones perfectly. The 18 carat gold-plating detail on the side gives it that bit more pizzaz and style!
