NOVICA Cultured Freshwater Pearl and Jade Pendant Necklace with Sterling Silver, 'Touch of Life'

NOVICA Cultured Freshwater Pearl and Jade Pendant Necklace with Sterling Silver, 'Touch of Life'
Beautiful and elegant, this piece is classic in appearance and quality. Love the natural look of each pearl and the luminescence that they emanate.

Pearls are always considered a fine piece of jewelry in every culture. It looks refined and classy and it is never out of style.

The Jade piece is smooth and has a very lovely light color, that makes a wonderful contrast with the pearls and the silver ornate that flanks each side of the stone.

I’ve always heard that pearls represent sadness or tears, and also represents purity, maybe that is way so many brides use it in their dresses. In the other hand, jade represents luck in so many cultures and is a talisman against evil eye and bad luck. But if folklore is right, then we have a very lucky necklace.

Love that each item of Novica is fair trade, for me this makes a huge difference.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Matta
Matta

I love wearing nice things – I always have."
"My name is Matta Nandrakwang, I was born and raised in Chiang Rai, the northernmost province in Thailand next to the border with Myanmar (Burma). I grew up appreciating this naturally beautiful area, home to rich and diverse cultures as well as many ancient ethnic tribes. Since the area is rich with gems and the main activity was their trade, I began to learn and develop a passion for the various gemstones.

"Ever since I was a young girl, I have been enamored with the hill tribe people's love of jewelry. I regularly saw people around me wearing jewelry. I recall seeing a hill tribe girl my age, seven at the time, wearing beautiful silver jewelry accessorizing her colorful costume. She had silver coins hanging around her face, more silver ornaments on her, as well as beautiful beads. I couldn't take my eyes off her! I don't remember exactly what I said to my father about her, but remember clearly that afterwards I got my first gold ring with a little blue star sapphire. I felt I was on top of the world.

"Years later, when living in Bangkok during my college years, and after working for four years in a public hospital after graduation, I realized that although I liked helping people, I could not see myself being a nurse for the rest of my life. I subsequently left Thailand to travel for two years, and came to the conclusion that what I really wanted to do, was to work with gems. Even then, in the West, people would ask, 'are you going to a party?' because I was always wearing jewelry. I love wearing nice things – I always have.

"My sister and I have always enjoyed visiting jewelry shops. We would buy what we could afford, and admire the higher price pieces. I realized I had much to learn about gems and jewelry, and decided to enroll in gemology school. There I learned all about gems and jewelry making. I learned on my own about bead-making. This passion is still with me after many years. I have opened my own studio now, and I derive great joy from sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of gems and jewelry with my visitors."

Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow with Heat

Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow with Heat http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AFLDIRK Got this massage pillow and was a bit skeptic about it. I’ve had shiatsu massage and couldn’t think a cushion will provide the exact pressure. I have really tight muscles in my shoulders due to stress and the knots are very hard, it is like a big lump in my back. This massage system is just awesome. The pillow contains four rotating balls, two in each side, that are big enough to simulate a deep elbow massage, and the feeling is very relaxing. You can increase the pressure by pulling yourself closer to the pillow. It has a heating system and two rotation settings.  It comes with a strap to adjust the position on a chair and an extra cord for using it on a vehicle. After using it I feel more relaxed and my shoulders are less stressed. Note: I received this product free or highly discounted for review and an honest and un-biased opinion.

HOME: CERAMIC HEATER & TOWER FAN

Dual Zone Oscillating Ceramic Heater and Tower Fan with Adjustable Thermostat and Remote Control Love this! This heater performs great and looks fantastic as it blends with the decor and it doesn't take too much space. The oscillating feature is one of my favorite since it warms up much quicker and the heat wave cover more space. My apartment heating system doesn't warm up every room evenly so this is perfect for the one that is always cold and in cases of exposure to low temps, this is definitely a life saver.
