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…]
I 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!
The discs themselves were about the size and thickness of a dime and were polished to a smooth shine. 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.
