Well Traveled: Novica Spotlight

So I got my necklace from Novica Friday and I. LOVE. IT!!  It is so beautiful!  

Natural rose pendant necklace, 'Sweet Scarlet'

This beautiful necklace is one world traveler.  It was shipped to me from Chiangmai, TH (Thailand).  Here's all the stops it's made...

1. Chiangmai, TH (Thailand)

2. Samutprakarn, TH (Thailand)

3. Bayan Lepas, MY (Malaysia)

4. Narita-Shi, JP (Japan)

5. Anchorage, AK

6. Indianapolis, IN

7. Phoenix, AZ

8. Tempe, AZ

9. Mesa, AZ

10. Back to Tempe, AZ (TWICE since I am never home when FedEX makes deliveries.)

All I have to say is at least it's not heavy because can you imagine the shipping if it was??  When I picked out my prize (from the giveaway I won to Novica) I had no idea it was actually FROM Thailand (I'm not always a details reader, sue me).   Well done, National Geographic & Novica!

Can you believe this necklace is made out of a real mini rose??  Crazy, right?!

"Immortalized in jewelry, a miniature rose centers this necklace from Danai. The perfect red blossom pendant graces a slender chain bathed in 24k gold."



The artist Danai makes most of his jewelry from real flowers & then casts them in different material (lacquer, resin, gold, silver, etc).  It's all way over my head but the results are beautiful!
