ENDED...Review & Giveaway - Fair Trade Gifts by Novica

Congrats to heartnsoulcooking for winning this giveaway! Thank you to everyone who entered and to the giveaway sponsor for offering this amazing prize!!

It is amazing to find that there are so many talented artists that can be found around the globe. Many of these artists do not have the means or opportunities to showcase their fabulous gifts with the world. That is why Novica is such a wonderful place to browse and purchase products that you would normally not be able to buy. Novica offers Fair Trade Gifts for reasonable prices and features tons of different artists.

Novica has so many different categories to browse through and there are so many different and wonderful products. I was really in the mood for a new necklace. I came across a jewelry maker from Thailand named Nae. Not only did I find her jewelry absolutely stunning, but, I also felt a connection because we have the same nickname (Nae). I purchased the Soulfly Butterfly online and it arrived fairly quickly (1-1/2 weeks) especially because it shipped from Thailand.

Soulfly Butterfly was under $40 and is made with sterling silver and has marcasite accents. I love that the butterfly sits around my neck at an angle and is so beautifully designed. The chain is solid and strong and will last a long time. This gorgeous necklace also arrived in a handmade jewelry box and an artisan story card.
