Rica Jewels Review & Giveaway!

I love handmade jewelry. I have bought many great pieces in arts and craft fairs throughout the years. I found a way to bring the art fairs to my own home, Etsy!

I found a unique jewelry shop named Rica Jewels. It is filled with rings, pendants, beads, and earrings of various styles.

She sent me a beautiful, handmade coral pendant with sterling silver to review. It is a large piece, 2 inches in length from bail to the end.

The stone is a natural coral gemstone and each piece has unique color and pattern. The setting was a little rough around one corner, but nothing that would snag on fabric or be uncomfortable. It is clearly a handmade piece, and I like the hammered design on the silver sides and back.

The jump ring and bail are good quality and sturdy, I would not have any concern of them falling apart.

The pictures on the site show a pretty chain with the pendant, but it is only the pendant you are purchasing. This could be made more clear on the listing. Rica Jewel items are mailed in a pretty organza bag, and are shipped ready to be given as gifts.

One of my favorite things about Rica Jewels is that when you making a purchase you are shopping for a cause. A portion of their sales support a Child Fund sponsored child named Luz. Her picture comes on a business card with your purchase, and she will melt your heart!

I love many of the other designs in the Rica Jewels Etsy shop.

These Drusy Earrings are such a beautiful color.

I also like the design of these Larmiar Earrings.

And this Sterling Silver Cross Pendant has ruby and cubic zirconia gemstones.

These spinner rings are really cool, the inside ring rotates.

Daniela shared the story behind Rica Jewels with me.
Rica Jewels' story starts with a Brazilian girl who was born and raised on a fashion factory and saw her father as a hero. She was always creating and playing with arts at an early age. She obtained her bachelor’s on Fashion Design. After her painful divorce she went to New York City to do her master in business, work and travel the world.

She was Inspired on the worldly culture and beauty of jewelry and gemstones. Later, she moved to San Diego she was fired up and decided to follow her passion for jewelry by sharing her designs to everyone.

Since then, Rica Jewels has being a total success. Everything flows to the right direction and she could not love more what she does.

Her words ”I design with a lot of passion and hopefully, people can wear and feel my pieces and understand how life is truly a blessing. I believe every piece has a positive message on it.”
