I feel that I am a very simple person. Having said that, I love jewelry and the more unique the better. My son loves to call me his "Hippie Momma", which in many ways fits me. I like leather, silver and so many different type of stones (gems) that it is difficult to name them all but some of my favorites are garnet (my birthstone), rose quartz, moonstone, and amethyst. I enjoy Novica because I know every piece of jewelry and other crafts are totally made locally (from their native country), by hand and using items that are from their area of the world!
