I placed my first order with Novica this summer, for a ring I had come across during my usual surf-shopping (my term for online window shopping... is there already a term for that? hehe). That ring is sold out now or else I'd share the picture, but I can tell you this from being a first-time Novica jewelry buyer:
Your jewelry item comes in what appears to be a handmade fabric-covered box, very unusual and pretty. It comes with a handwritten note from the artisan who made the jewelry (Novica's jewelry comes from around the world, and the site tells you a little about the background of each jewelry-maker... it was a nice surprise to see a note from the person herself included with my order! Her name is Beenu, look for her other items!). And the quality of the ring I bought was amazing -- it's real amethyst, beautiful stones, set in silver, and it doesn't LOOK hand-made. It's just gorgeous.
A jewelry purchase from Novica would make a really extraordinary gift for someone (including yourself!). It helps to support hard-working craftsmen in other countries, too. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Shipping is free on most of their jewelry items, but for this week only. Their prices are reasonable, plus you get 3% cash back from QR.
These "Baroque" earrings are .925 sterling silver and turquoise, and $39.99 shipped (before 3% QR cash back). I think they're beautiful -- very unusual.
This is really amazing -- "Everlasting Red" earrings are made from real flowers, encased in 22K gold to preserve them, then hand-painted with red laquer. Can you imagine the time that went into making them? And they're just $24.95 shipped (before QR cashback)!

"Spring Buds" is a necklace made with garnet and Swarovski crystals, very beautiful, and just $34.99 shipped! I'm thinking, "Christmas party." It doesn't look springy at all to me! :)
You could literally spend all day looking at jewelry on Novica, so be sure to use the options on the left sidebar to narrow down your search by the type of item and your desired price. Because these are made by real people, one at a time, the quantities of each item are limited, so if you see something you like, don't wait!
