NOVICA.com is a thrilling site that I discovered a couple of months ago, and I have been totally obsessed with them ever since.
They partner with National Geographic and act as a liaison between international artisans and the online world. They offer three different categories of art - Home Decor, Handmade Jewelry, and Paintings.
On each product that you look at, you will find a photo of the artisan and their story. It is so amazing to get to experience their stories in this way!
I personally love their jewelry offerings, and often find myself totally lost in browsing all of the options. All of their jewelry comes in regionally-specific and very exquisite jewelry boxes,
many are made with precious and semi-precious stones,
And they come with a hand-written note from the artisan group from that country:
I have been so happy with all of my purchases, and am constantly amazed by all of their personal touches and the quality of their jewelry!
If you would like the chance to win a $75 gift certificate to be used for any product on NOVICA’s amazing site, go visit their site and come back and tell me what you might buy with it.
You can earn up to four extra entries if you:
- Tweet, blog, OR Facebook about this giveaway
- Follow NOVICA on Twitter or Facebook
- Subscribe to OR Follow the Alabama Bloggers Blog
- Follow Alabama Bloggers on Twitter
(be sure to leave separate comments for your extra entries.)
Best of luck! This giveaway is open until Monday, September 13th. The winner will be randomly selected and posted on Tuesday, September 14th.
Disclosure: I received a gift certificate that partially paid for the products that I ordered from NOVICA so that I could review their site. But I have bought other products from them on my own and absolutely love them. My opinions are, as always, my own.
Can I have one of each? :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked all the ameythist jewlery. So pretty. I would probably choose one of those pieces.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE Novica - it's hands down my most favorite place in the world to shop! And I have a Wish List that's a mile long.
ReplyDeleteComposing maybe HALF of my Wish List are the exquisite designs of five Thai women: Nareerat, Anusara, Sasina, Danai and Busarin. They are all marvelous jewelry designers and artisans.
One piece I've been eyeing for a long time is "Pearl and Rose Quartz Beaded Necklace, 'Cloudfall'" by Sasina. It is breathtaking - and with such an exceptionally generous GC as this I could actually afford it!
