Show Loved Ones Your Feelings This Christmas with Jewelry from Powder & Jade-Giveaway

November 29, 2016 by Kathryn 91 Comments

One of the upsides of blogging is that I’ve had the chance to make friends from all over the world and some of those friends are the best ones I’ve ever had. But the downside of that is I usually don’t get the chance to see those friends too often. Luckily, a true friendship is one that isn’t affected by distance and every time I see one of my beloved blogging buddies, we’re able to jump into adventures as if we’d never been apart.

Still, I like to sometimes remind those special friends that I’m thinking of them, and that’s why I absolutely love the fashion jewelry from Powder & Jade. This Etsy boutique offers meaningful jewelry for couples, sisters, mothers/daughters and, my personal favourite, best friends. Each stylish necklace comes with an adorable quote explaining the significance of the chosen piece. I recently had a chance to review one of the necklaces and I knew in seconds which one I would choose: the Rose Gold Star Necklace. [Read more…]

The Vintage Pearl Customized Silver Jewellery-Review and Giveaway

May 2, 2011 by Kathryn 726 Comments

I love personalized items but when it comes to jewellery, I really don’t need anything with my own name. I want my jewellery to show where my heart lies. In the same way that a diamond ring shows that a woman has given her love to the man she will marry, a personalized “mommy necklace” shows the world that our hearts belong to our incredibly precious children. The Vintage Pearl creates some of the most stunning and unique personalized silver jewellery that I have ever seen and I was recently lucky enough to be given the chance to review a necklace for myself.

the vintage pearl dainty drops necklaceI was tempted by a lot of the pieces that The Vintage Pearl carried, especially the sleek silver and copper bracelets, but eventually I chose the Dainty Drops necklace to review. This sensational necklace is perfect for a mother or grandmother and can be custom-made with any number of dainty silver charms and matching birthstones. I specified the names for the two charms, my desired font and the birthstones that I needed and The Vintage Pearl was ready to create my masterpiece!

When the necklace arrived, I put it on immediately. The beautiful discs bearing the scripted names of my two boys were so small and delicate and the birthstones almost seemed to be made to go together. Zackary’s birthstone was a light purple gem and Benjamin’s was a bright pink. With my boy-heavy household I sometimes feel a little bit starved for girly things but my boys’ birthdays had provided stones for a gorgeously feminine necklace.

The beautiful cursive script complimented the birthstones wonderfully and the charms looked so elegant hanging from the slender ball chain. Overall, the effect was just beautiful and so very girly that I have worn my necklace non-stop from the second that I received it.

The Vintage Pearl also offers family necklaces, daddy dog tags and a wide assortment of bracelets and rings. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, why not choose a special necklace for your own mother or drop a few hints to loved ones about a possible gift this year? For high-quality personalized silver jewellery, you can’t go wrong with The Vintage Pearl. Check out their beautiful pieces for yourself and find your own favourite just waiting to be personalized for you!

The Pretty Peacock Personalized Jewelry-Review and Giveaway

October 26, 2010 by Kathryn 563 Comments

I love my family so much, and there is nothing that makes me happier than having a constant reminder of them with me at all times. I am so proud of my husband and my sons that showing that pride off to the world is one of the most satisfying experiences in my life. And when I can express my love and pride in the form of an elegant piece of jewelry, well…then I am just in heaven.

The Pretty Peacock is a wonderful boutique specializing in custom-made, personalized jewelry that is perfect for inscribing with the names or phrases that deserve to be forever remembered. I was recently lucky enough to review one of the site’s best-selling pieces, the stunning Regal Family Tier.

Pretty Peacock Royal Family TierOne of the things that make The Pretty Peacock so special is the high level of customization that is offered. Rather than just printing a name on a piece of jewelry, the store offers tons of options on every piece so that the jewelry is truly original and perfectly suited to the wearer. Customizing my own perfect piece was so much fun!

The Regal Family Tier consists of three silver discs of graduating size. I decided to put the names of my two sons on the largest disc, my and my husband’s names on the middle disc and the word “love” on the smallest disc. The piece also features a birthstone that hangs in the center of the smallest disc, and I pondered for a while about what stone to choose for my necklace. I finally took a great idea off the website and used the April birthstone to symbolize the month of my marriage.

After determining the words and stone for my piece, I was able to further customize the necklace by combining a smooth finish on the smallest and largest discs with a hammered finish on the center disc. With my creation complete, the only thing I had left to do was eagerly wait for my necklace to arrive.

The necklace was packaged beautifully in a small tissue-paper-wrapped box, complete with a peacock feather adorning the top. I unwrapped it carefully and pulled out the personalized necklace. It was, quite simply, stunning. Zackary and Benjamin’s names circled the bottom of the largest disc with a small dot separating them, and my name was separated from Curtis’s with a small heart. The curved bowl shape of the discs looked incredibly elegant and made the necklace very comfortable to wear, and the silver chain that the discs hung from was so stylish.

Pretty Peacock Itty Bitty Initial PendantI put the necklace on immediately and loved how it dressed up my look. Since I received the Royal Family Tier, it has been around my neck every single day. I have yet to find an outfit that doesn’t look fabulous with this timeless necklace, and I’ve developed the habit of rubbing the smooth, rounded back of the pendant with my thumb when I start to feel stressed or overwhelmed. It’s amazing how much that simple action helps me to relax and remember what is truly important in my life.

The Pretty Peacock also offers bracelets, necklaces and pieces for men, all made with the same loving care and attention to detail that makes every item in the shop so incredibly special. Far more than just jewelry, the pieces truly are treasures that are sure to be cherished for a lifetime.

The quality and beauty of the necklace I received from The Pretty Peacock is absolutely phenomenal. I love the combination of smooth and hammered silver, and the sparkling gemstone in the center of the necklace adds such a great touch of sparkle to the pendant. I can’t imagine any woman that wouldn’t love to have one of these beautiful pieces of personalized jewelry. For completely customizable personalized pieces that help keep the most important things in your life fresh in your mind and close to your heart, check out The Pretty Peacock for yourself. There’s no better way to show the world where your love lies.
