Best Personalized Jewelry! Review

Best Personalized Jewelry
Hey everyone! For today's review I have another really exciting jewelry piece to share with all of you. The store I will be sharing with all of you today is called http://www.bestpersonalizedjewelry.com/. This is a pretty awesome store to be honest with all of you. Not only do they sell some gorgeous jewelry pieces, each piece is also really customizable, which is unbelievable.
 
The piece I will be sharing with all of you today is a necklace and I got custom just for myself. First I need to talk about the packaging for this company. The necklace came in this pretty lavender box, which instantly impressed me. I love when you order jewelry and it comes in a nice box, call me simple but that's an important part for me. it assures that the company take their time when shipping out their products and that they care about making their customers happy. I do have to say that this box is pretty darn adorable as well.

 
I was given the opportunity to review a necklace for you all. I had a very tough time picking out which necklace I wanted to review, they have a lot that are really similar. I decided to go with this one because I just loved the font of the words, and I just thought it looked really nice. Of course for the personalization I had to go with something Disney of course! Written on this necklace is "Disney Freak" which is so true it is not even funny. To say the least I am pretty in love with this necklace.
 
Retails:($33.95)


 
They have so many necklaces to choose from, with so many options to pick from as well. They have so many different metals, chains, and even chain lengths. The necklace that I am showing all of you is sterling silver on a box chain that is 18 inches long, all of these details were perfect for me. I love silver jewelry and it is all that I wear. I seen the picture of the box chain and thought it was pretty, and nothing like what  I currently own already  in my jewelry collection. I also thought 18 inches for the length of the chain was pretty perfect as well. It's not too long, and it's not too short either.
 
 
Overall I'd say I had a great experience with this company. They make some gorgeous pieces, and I love how customizable they really are. I highly suggest checking this company out of yourself and finding the perfect jewelry piece for you! The necklace I received is really high quality and feels really sturdy like it will last me a while. I am so in love with this piece, and have been wearing it pretty religiously sense I received it in the mail. Every time I wear it I get so much attention about this piece and everyone just loves how different it is. I really suggest checking this site out!

Haute Beads! Review

 
I received some gorgeous products from an online jewelry store called Haute Beads. I discovered this store by browsing on Instagram. Once I found this page I was amazed with how gorgeous the pieces were. I thought each product was amazing and had it's own character which was really cool. It's not everyday you come across a store like this one an I am glad that I did. I was sent an entire jewelry set to review, which includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings that all match. I was unable to find the exact link for these products, but there are several similar ones listed on the webpage, along with several others that are just as gorgeous.
 
 
The first piece that I am going to begin with is the necklace. First I will start off by stating the color scheme for these pieces is this gorgeous coral color, with small accents of light blue along with silver and big crystals. I must say I am kind obsessing over the color scheme of all these pieces. I think it really screams summer which is awesome because I know that I will be loving all these products in the summer because these are basic colors and they will go with so many looks. I have a lot of clothing items that are going to go perfect with these pieces. I love how different these prodcuts are too. You can't just find these in your everyday accessory store which is another thing I really love about these piece.
 
As you can see this necklace has a few different things going on. The majority of this necklace is filled with pearl sized coral beads. These are somewhat light weight, and I love how simple they are. The color is also really gorgeous as well. On the side of the necklace is where all the pizazz is going on. There is a small little beaded piece on the side which features smaller coral beads, and also some light blue beads too. There is also some teeny tiny gold beads which acts as spacer beads between each color. I love how she included these small beads in between each bead. It creates really good contrast between the colors which is really nice. Above that detail on the necklace there is also another gorgeous detail. This one features a gorgeous crystal like bead. I think this is my favorite part of the entire piece because it really adds a lot to it. The closure for this necklace is also on the bigger side so is a lot easier to fasten it on your own, which I really like too.
 
I think this piece s beautifully made and it really feels pretty heavy duty. I think the piece is a little on the heavy side, but it's not too heavy either. It is really comfortable when you wear it which is also another important factor in wearing jewelry.

 
Up next we have the matching bracelet. This matches perfectly with the necklace as you can see. This has the same color and blue beads, and it also has my favorite part which is the crystal bead. In this picture you are able to see all the details on this one a lot better. As you can see there is one bigger gem in the middle and has a few smaller ones that surround the bigger one. The design for this bracelet is a two layered look and then the gem detail is in the center of piece. As you can also see there is no closure on this piece either. This bracelet is a stretchy type which is one of my favorite types. I love these the best because they are so easy to wear and really easy to slip on and off.

 
The final piece I will be reviewing in this collection is the matching earrings. I am so in love with these. As you can see the main focal point for these is that same crystal bead that was on the necklace and the bracelet. These are also dangle type earrings which is probably my favorite style of earrings because they really are gorgeous and they are pretty comfortable as well. Underneath the crystal detailing there is a round sphere which is made completely of the coral and blue beads. I love how funky and different this looks. She really took her time in creating this details for these earrings. I have never seen anything like this before. I love it.
 
 
The earring backs for these earrings are the big round clear ones. These I find are the easiest to put on the earring posts. I usually have a hard time putting backs on earrings sense I have acrylic nails. The teeny tiny backs are also really hard to even keep in my hands lol. Seeing these on the back of the earring posts I was like "Halluigha". I really enjoyed these earrings, and was quite impressed with how light they felt when I was wearing them. I was expecting them to be a bit on the heavy side but I was wrong. I thought these were pretty light considering how many details are on these.

 
My final thoughts for this shop is that this is a wonderful shop! I am amazed with how different all the pieces are. All the pieces that I received were gorgeous. They are were flawless and pretty amazing. I am in love with each piece, and I plan on wearing them a lot this summer. I love how they are going to add a lot to my simple outfits. I think they are pretty high quality and feel pretty durable which is important. I think that each piece goes so perfectly together but each piece could also be worn alone which is really pretty as well.

 
I highly recommend this shop and checking it out for your self :)

Jewelry by Justine! Review



Hi Everyone, I have another jewelry review for all of you today! Today we will be getting a closer look at an online jewelry store by the name of Jewelry By Justine. I discovered this shop on instagram and instantly fell in love with everything that was posted on their page. The shop owner told me she would be sending me a piece to review, and when this arrived on my door step I was super excited because this was my favorite piece that was listed on their webpage!
 
 
First before we get into the review of the actual jewelry piece we have to discuss the packaging and how it was sent to me. I was impressed with the super fast shipping first of all.  By the time we talked I felt like this arrived just a few days after which was pretty nice as well. It arrived in an adorable little box, and then the necklace itself was in a bag to help keep it more secure. I love when jewelry is shipping in boxes like these, because I usually end up hanging on to them for either myself later down the road, or when you have gifts to give that are jewelry items. I also put them in boxes because it makes them look so much nicer, so it's always good to have a few of these empty boxes laying around, you never know when you might need one!

 
Inside each package that you receive from Jewelry by Justine you will also receive a little paper on the care instructions which is extremely helpful. I also purchase my jewelry online and I never know how to clean it. Especially when it doesn't come with the instructions. Cleaning jewelry makes me nervous in general because I always think I am going to mess something up lol. I can reassure myself that with this one I wont mess it up because it came with instructions :)

 
This is the item I was sent to review as you can see this is a pineapple necklace and I am so in love! Jewelry by Justine has a few different pineapple necklaces listed on their site for sale but this one is called "MAMA PINA NECKLACE". This is the biggest pineapple one for sale and I think its perfect. Pineapples are my favorite fruit ever, and having them be so adorable just gives me another reason to why there my favorite lol. I love this piece because it really screams summer time, which is something I absolutely cant wait for. Living in Florida I love having pieces that are in the tropical category because these are pretty perfect to wear year long.
 
Retails:($60.00)

 
Here is a close up of the actual pendant it self. I know it's probably hard to tell from this picture, but this pineapple isn't solid which is something else I really like about it. It has small holes throughout the piece, which makes this super lightweight and really comfy in wearing. I hate wearing jewelry that is big and chunky and this is so not! I would consider this to be more of delicate. Delicate necklace are really in style right now as well.  I am typically not a huge fan of gold and I never wear it but in this case I love it! I actually don't think I would like this necklace in silver. I think the gold is just beautiful and really makes the pineapple pop!

 
The description for this item on the website is:
"14k gold-filled chain. Mama pina is vermeil which is 14k gold plated over sterling silver. Length is 20"
 
You don't have to worry about this turning your neck green, or getting yucky which is a huge plus as well. I love the length of the necklace as well. I think the 20 inch chain is perfect for pretty much anyone. It isn't too long and it isn't too short either. I think most people would be happy with the length of this chain too. I am pretty in love with this piece and think this is a high quality jewelry piece. I have been wearing it for a few days and haven't taken it off, and I'm pretty surprised with how well it's holding up! I will definitely be wearing this a lot during the summer and that's for sure!
 
 
I highly suggest checking this online store out for yourself. I'm almost certain you will find something that you can't live without. There are so many gorgeous pieces you will fall in love with!

String Beans Inc! Review


For today's review I will be showing you a few different items from an etsy shop by the name of String Beans Inc. This shop is filled with all types of wonderful items. Her shop is truly adorable and has some one of a kind pieces that blow my mind. Here you can find jewelry, sunglasses, purses, décor and so much more. She does such an amazing job at offering something for pretty much everyone. I'm almost certain you will be able to find something in this shop you just cant live without so I suggest checking it out for yourself :)

 
The very first item I will be sharing with all of you today is this bib style of necklace. I must say this isn't something I would typically wear but I love it. This would look great with so many different looks and you could really dress this up or even dress it down too. The fact that it's black too makes styling this piece a lot easier as well. This would look great with so many different colors, or even with just a black outfit too.

 
The thing that I really like about this necklace is that you tie it. You don't have to worry about fussing with a tiny clip to get this necklace on and off which can be a huge pain at times. I hate asking for help when putting on jewelry to be honest lol, so this makes it so much easier for me. I wont have to ask for help when wearing this which is a huge bonus for me!
 
This necklace is super light weight, it might not look like it is, but it truly is. I was quite surprised how light and comfy it would be. I thought this necklace was going to be kind of itchy too because I just figure on the back of the necklace it would be scratchy from the rhinestones, but the back of this necklace is completely flat. When this is laid against your chest you can hardly feel it
 
Retails:($15.00 not the same necklace but a very similar style)

 
Next up we have two pairs of earrings to take a closer look at. She sent me two of the same pair of earrings just different colors. These are stud style earrings, which are probably my favorite because you can literally wear these with anything. These match with everything and they are so easy to wear, and they are usually super comfortable as well. I never last a day or night ir I am wearing big earrings, the only ones that I usually end up keeping in my ears are studs. In my opinion you can never have to many right lol. The studs that she sent me are in a bronze/brown color and a blue color. They both have a matte finish to them which is super popular right now. I think the colors she sent me are gorgeous. I'll probably get the most use out of the blue ones, just because I think these are going to be perfect for the spring and summer time.
 
Retails:($5.00 for one pair)

 
The thing that really makes these stand our from your traditional stud earrings, is that these are pretty much two earrings in one! The backs of these you could easily flip around and were them reversed. I have seen some of these before and have been curious about them to be quite honest. I love the whole concept of these, just because you can get so much wear out of them and you get two different looks. They are pretty similar, but then again really different too. I am super excited about these.

 
The next item I have for you all today is this gorgeous necklace. I was unable to find the link for this one or something similar to this so please bare with me. Out of all the items she sent me I think this has to be my favorite one. This is gold necklace with silver crystal accents. I think it is truly gorgeous. I'm not typically a fan of gold, but in this case I am. The actual chain of this necklace is pretty heavy duty and seems pretty durable. This is another piece you could wear a million plus ways. These are the types of jewelry piece I am a big fan of. I like being able to wear my jewelry with all kinds of outfits, that is important to me. 

 
Here's a close up of the actual necklace so you can see the crystals on this piece. As you can see this is gorgeous. This is bib type style of necklace too which is one my new discovered favorites. I have to say I wore this out one time and was impressed with the quality of this piece. I received a million compliments as well on this. I do have to say I don't recommend wearing this when it's cold lol The metal gets freezing! This is a pretty heavy piece, but it is really comfortable as well.


I bet you will never guess what's inside this coral colored pouch..... lol

 
Sun glasses! Lol I'm sure you all guessed that from the picture above. Anyways she sent me this pair of gorgeous glasses that I am kind of obsessing over at the moment. This is totally outside my comfort zone completely. I usually wear aviators and that's all that I stick with. I am sooooo loving these however. It's not everyday you find glasses like these. They are so different and so funky which is why I really love them. The round style is such a hot trend right now.
 
Retails:($20.00 not the exact glasses but the same style)

 
I love the gold accents on the front of these it adds a little pizzazz to the glasses which is important of course. As you can see from the sides of these glasses they are covered in different colors.  It isn't in your face however. It isn't noticeable right at first but once you look at them you will start to notice. There are hints of pinks, blue, reds, oranges, and white. These are going to be perfect for summer time because they are going to match with some many outfits. Another thing I really like is that these glasses are super sturdy. The plastic that these are made out of is super durable and really thick. I am notorious for breaking sunglasses, but I'm sure these will stand up to my roughness with glasses which is really exciting!

 
I am in love with everything that I received from this shop! Everything has amazing quality, and everything is super trendy and stylish. Her prices are amazing as well. I would highly suggest having a look for yourself :)

Acid Octopus! Review

 
Today I have a review for all of you on an Etsy shop by the name of Acid Octopus. This shop is filled with a ton of fun and unique jewelry pieces. I am really excited to share with you all what was sent to me to review so lets get into this review!
 
 
 
The item that was sent to me as you can tell is a necklace. The pendant on this necklace is a little different from other jewelry that I have. The image on this necklace is the moon and it's gorgeous I love the color scheme for this necklace. It's black/grey which makes the metal of this necklace go perfectly with the piece. I love how well they go together. The metal of this necklace is like a gun metal color which I do really like. I think she did an amazing job at creating this piece. It really is unique and I can promise you that your not going to see a lot of people who have this necklace which makes it that much for special. I love standing out from the crowd. With this piece I will be able to just do that.
Retails:($20.71)

 
The chain that comes with this necklace is 60 cm long which is about 24 inches. This is a really long chain, which is right around what I like for my necklaces. Not too long and not too short either it's pretty perfect for me!
 
I am super impressed with this piece that I got :)
I love it so much and it's going to go well with so many outfits that I own. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes one of a kind pieces. I highly recommend going to check out her shop for yourself!

JDzigner! Review

 
I have a review for all of you today on an online store by the name of JDzigner. This jewelry designer creates several amazing pieces and she was able to send one to review which is awesome. Her online store is filled with all types of jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings. She even has an assortment of clothes such as leggings and dresses. Also there's even home décor item such as clocks, and coasters. This shop owner makes some pretty amazing things and has such a huge range which I just love. For the review today she sent me one of her aluminum cuff bracelets to try out and give my opinion on for you. So lets get into the review!
 
 
 
The bracelet that she sent me to review is in an adorable pink camo print which I love. Camo is pretty popular and I love how this is pink, it really has a nice girly feel to it which is what I am all about lol. Before I get on with reviewing the actual bracelet I have to first start off by saying this bracelet was shipped inside a small clear bag as you can see in the picture above. This was such a great idea, just to ensure that it arrived in perfect condition which is really did.
 
I was unable to find the actual link for this particular bracelet but I did include a link to the same bracelet just in a different pattern. The link I included is one of my favorite ones she has listed on her site, it reminds me a lot of Vera Bradley, so make sure you check this link out and have a look for yourself. I'm sure you will agree with me :)
Retails:($34.99)

 
Back to the bracelet review now. As you can see from this picture this bracelet is actually pretty thick. I was kind of surprised to be honest with you. I have several types of bracelets that are super similar to this style, but I can assure you I have never seen one quite like this before. Most of the ones that I already own are super flimsy and really thin. This one is super sturdy, which to me is really important when It comes to me jewelry. This honestly feels like a piece I could wear over and over again and It would never wear out. I wear jewelry a whole lot so having a piece like this is awesome.
 
 
I am super impressed with not only the quality of this bracelet but also how it looks. I absolutely am in love with the style of this bracelet. This isn't something you would see everyday and its definitely not something you see all the time in the stores. I love being a little different and standing out from the crowd and I think with owning this piece it will really help with that. I love how this bracelet is so versatile. You can really wear this to achieve a lot of different looks, you can dress this up or dress it down too which is awesome and I love pieces like this because they making styling so much easier. I wore this bracelet a few time already and I received so many compliments on it which always in nice to hear :)

 
Overall this bracelet is amazing hands down. It's really cute and pretty. It's really study and heavy duty and its just a nice piece to have. I would highly recommend checking these out on her website along with all her other items she has for sale. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes some amazing pieces. I am so honored that I got to work with her and I really hope to work with her again in the future.

AmyZolkowskiDesigns! Review


Today I have a very exciting review for you all. I will be reviewing an online Etsy shop that goes by the name of Amy Zolkowski Designs. Her online store sells al kinds of my handmade jewelry made by Amy herself. All of her pieces are one of a kind, and they all are just so gorgeous and unique.
 
 
One awesome thing about this shop is that all of her jewelry pieces are shipped in these nice boxes. Inside the boxes there is some extra cotton, which acts like a cushion or your jewelry. This is to ensure that all of your jewelry pieces arrive in perfect condition. This I can assure you happened. I love how she places each item in the boxes it adds a lot to the pieces, and it's really nice if you plan on giving any of her items as gifts, because they are already boxed up! That saves you an extra step which is something I'm sure everyone would appreciate.
 
 
The piece that Amy sent me to review is a gorgeous pair of earrings. Like I said previously all of her pieces are made one of a kind so I am unable to include the link for this actual item. I decided to include a link for a very similar item that is in her shop, just in case you are interested in buying a piece like this you know exactly where to go. As you can see the earrings that were sent to me are a pair of her wire wrapped earrings. I have gotten a few pieces of jewelry pieces with the similar style with the wire but I can honestly say these are nothing like what I have seen before. There are many things that really make these stand out for me. One being that the type of metal that she uses to create her pieces is oxidized and polished the copper, which is why it's the color that it is. I love the color of the copper and the color of the green bead on each earring. The color go great with each other and contrast really nicely together.I have never seen someone use a metal like this when making wire wrapped jewelry most of the time it ends up being just plain silver, so I really like how this is a little different.
 
Retails:($18.00)

 
I included a close up picture of these earrings so you can see the detail that was put into making them. As you can see above the bead, towards the top of the earring this is where all the wire wrapping is done. It looks amazing and pretty perfect if I do say so myself. These earrings really look like something you would find in the store. I would consider these earrings to be on the plain side, there isn't a lot going on with them which I really like as well. These earrings are pretty much easy to wear with any outfit. You can easily dress these earrings up, or you could dress them down as well. All of her jewelry pieces are topped with a protective coating which helps the jewelry from tarnishing which is amazing! That is something that I am constantly worrying about with my jewelry so it's nice to know that I will not have to worry when it comes to these earrings. I have to say after I received this package from Amy for the review I put these on instantly. These are my favorite style of earrings, the sort of dangle style. I think look the best on me. I thought these earrings were extremely comfortable and very light weight. I honestly forgot I was wearing them for a while at first, and they didn't irate my ears which was a huge plus as well.

Artsy Aries Designs! Review!

 
Today I have a product to review for all of you from an online store on Etsy that goes by the name of Artsy Aries Designs! I love getting to review homemade products, and I am super excited to share this store with all of you today! 
 
 
The product that was sent to me from this shop is a jewelry item. Jewelry items are always my favorite to review, and lets just be honest you truly can never have too much jewelry can you? Lol well I don't think you can. Jewelry can add so much to such a simple outfit. It really can make an outfit look so much different. This is why I am such a huge fan and have so much of it. I love being able to add just a simple piece and changing up my whole look! The item that was sent to me to review is a handmade beaded bracelet. Let me just tell you this is such a gorgeous piece. I was unable top find the exact link to this bracelet so below is a link to a similar bracelet just in different colors.
 
Retails:($22.00)

 
The color scheme for this bracelet is green and dark brown. I have to say these aren't colors I would typically go for. In this bracelet however I just love the two colors together. I think they balance out each other perfectly and I am actually super impressed with how much I love this piece of jewelry. I think both of these colors would pretty much go with any outfit. I am a a fan of having a lot of jewelry on at once and I think this will be perfect for when I layer bracelets on at once.

 
If you look closely at the image above you can really see how much detail was put into this bracelet. The beads are teeny tiny. I cant even imagine how long this took to make. I also wonder how many beads are on this bracelet too. I think this bracelet is gorgeous and truly is one of a kind. As you can see this bracelet just isn't simply beaded it also has a pattern to it. The description of this bracelet is that it looks like the Human DNA and it really does, it has a sort of spiral effect to it. I have to say she did an amazing job at creating this piece and it really is gorgeous. It feels pretty sturdy as well, which was something that I was concerned about because of all the little beads in this piece. I can happily say I have no concerns in wearing this bracelet and I am so excited to have this piece in my jewelry collection as well.
 
This shop owner is extremely talented and I highly suggest checking out her shop for yourself!
