CreationTop! Review!

 

Today I have  review on a shop I have worked with in the past. The name of this online store is called CreationTop. They have their online store through Etsy. They have some amazing products. Like I stated in the beginning of this review I have worked with this company in the past and I am still in love with what they sent me last time. This company is known for the jewelry. I think there most popular items are the customized beads/charms. They have a wide range of inventory for Pandora bracelets. They sell these beads at super inexpensive prices and the quality is just as good, or even a little better then the quality of Pandora itself. This company really stuck out to me when I seen the option on their website to customize beads. You can take literally whatever photograph you want and place it on a bead. It's pretty awesome and super unique. This time for the review I have two products I will be reviewing and both of them are a little different from each other and I'm so excited to share them both with you today.

 

First I need to state by saying every bead that you order from the company comes in boxes, which is really nice I must add. The very first bead I have for you is one of their Pandora knock-offs. If I am correct I'm pretty sure Pandora has a bead that looks pretty identical to it. I love my Pandora bracelet but I never seem to buy beads for it very often because of the price of each bead it gets pricey. It really gets expensive if you are into the Disney beads like I am. When I seen this on their website I just had to review it for you all. I was super curious to how the quality would be. I must say this bead is gorgeous. I was actually kind of surprised how pretty this bead is in real life. It had small silver rhinestones all over the front and also has some pink accents as well. This bead is made out of .925 silver so you don't have to worry about this tarnishing or turning funny colors which is great as well. I am soo happy with this bead and I can easily tell that this bead will last me forever.

The next bead I have up is one of their customized beads. Of course I went with another Disney style bead. I told the owner of the shop I wanted a picture of the castle on the bead and this is what they came up with! I am so impressed and I love this image so much! The clarity  of the image is awesome as well. It looks perfect and I just love this. This is a little diffwerent then the other customized bead I reviewed previously. This one is a dangle style, which I just love. I think it's very unique. I love how around the image there is a gold boarder. I think it's pretty cool to have both metals in one beads, just because they will go with either colored bracelet. This bead is 18k gold plated and silver plated as well. I can honestly say that I am super impressed with both of these beads!

Here is the link to the review where I featured this shop before:

http://danilonkey.blogspot.com/2015/08/creationtop-on-etsy.html

 

The item that I reviewed in my previous blog post was the same kind of item. It was a personalized bead. I received this bead in August of 2015 and let me just tell you the bead is in perfect condition still. I was worried about some of the rhinestones falling out but they haven't yet, and I'm the type of person where I never take off my jewelry...ever. I sleep and shower in it, and its still perfect. This shop is amazing with great one of a kind products. I will continue to stand behind them 100% and wish them the best with their shop and I hope you check them out 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!

Ferosh Kitty Designs! Review!

Today I have a review a few different jewelry items from a shop on Zibbet by the name of Ferosh Kitty Designs.

 

 

The first I have to review is a pair of earrings. These are Hamsa earrings, if you have no idea what I'm talking about Hamsa is the word used for the evil eye that is placed in the center of a hand. This symbol has a meaning of protection, like someone is watching over you. I love the meaning of this symbol, its such a positive meaning and I really like that. I have been seeing this symbol everywhere lately so I know a lot of people are a fan of this symbol as well. I love these earrings, they are my favorite style which is the dangle earrings. They start off with a small silver hand, and then attached to that is a  Hamsa . I love the pop of color the eye brings to these earrings. These are really well made and seem like they are super sturdy. I am really excited to wear these soon!

 

 

Next I have a beaded bracelet. Immediately when I seen this in the package I was instantly in love with the color scheme for this one. The colors for this bracelet are pink and purples, which so happen to be my favorite colors. I love the small beads on this piece, I like the dainty-ness of this piece. It's very simple and very pretty all at the same time. This bracelet is super light weight, which I am a huge fan of. I get annoyed with wearing jewelry at times and I know this will be perfect for me sense I wont be able to feel it when I'm wearing it! I do however have to say that this one feels the most fragile out of all the pieces that she sent me to review. That doesn't mean it's going to break or anything that just means that this one I'm going to need to really take care of, which is fine because I usually do anyways :)

 

Up next we have another paid or earrings. These ones are a dangle style as well. I like these ones, they are really pretty. These earrings have small infinity signs that are covered in rhinestones. At the bottom of each infinity sign there is  a gorgeous royal blue bead that dangles from the bottom of them. I love the pop of color that this small bead adds to the jewelry. I think that was the perfect color choice in making these earrings. These are super stylish and would go with practically any outfit which is nice. These are pretty light weight as well, which is perfect for people who have sensitive ears quite like myself lol.

 

 

We have another bracelet up next. The color scheme for this one is dark purples and blues. I am a fan of the color scheme for this one as well. I think that the colors go really well together. I love how she some smaller pieces of silver on this one as well. She even included a small pop of color at the bottom by adding two red beads. I love how she added these, it really does add a lot to the bracelet. These beads are pretty light weight too, but they aren't as light as the other bracelet I reviewed previously. This one does have a little weight to it, but not too much. I love the closure of this bracelet as well. I am unsure of the name of it but by the picture I'm sure you can see, but it has a circle on one side, and a small bar on the other and you just place the bar inside the circle. These make putting on jewelry a breeze! I get tired of asking people to help me put on jewelry lol, but this one is super easy to use by yourself.

 

The last jewelry item I have to review for all of you is a chandelier style pair of earrings. I love how these are super light weight as well. I am fan of this type of style earrings too! I love the color choice too, the red/pink is super pretty and will go with a lot of my outfits that I already own.

 

The last thing that was in this package was a Cover girl eyelash curler. I thought this was super sweet for her to include in this package for me. I will be putting this in one of my giveaways that will be coming up soon! So stay tuned for that :)

 

I am super impressed with the quality of all of these pieces that were sent to me to review. I love them all and I will be sure to get a lot of use out of these. I want to thank the owner of the Ferosh Kitty Designs for sending me these pieces to review. I highly recommend you all checking her out, she is super talented and has a million pieces to look through and im sure you are bound to find something that you will love!

JewelsForHope On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received a gorgeous bracelet from a shop on Etsy by the name of Jewels For Hope!

 

 

The bracelet that this shop has sent me to review is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't find the exact link to the same identical bracelet that they sent me, but I included the link for the closest one. The link below is for the same style, the only thing that is different is the color of the beads. The one I received has almost like a purple and green shine to it, as far as the one listed below it is just plain black. Either way both of these bracelets are gorgeous, and personally I would wear both of them.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/251953125/black-beaded-bracelet-leather-cord?ref=shop_home_active_13

Retails:($28.00)

 

 

As you can see from this picture it shines beautifully in the light. At first glance this bracelet just looks like it would be black, but when you take this into the sunshine you will see the true beauty. I love how the colors really pop. It shines with gorgeous shades of pink, purple, and green. I know its hard to see in this picture but it really is gorgeous in person. The actual cord itself is made out of leather which is pretty cool, that makes this pretty durable. I also like how this piece is pretty unisex as well.

 

My favorite thing about this bracelet is the closure on it. It is so simple! It's just a simple button, and button loop, which makes this really easy to put on and take off. I also have a hard time with putting bracelets on and off, but I know for a fact I wont have that problem with this one which is awesome. I love the simplicity of this bracelet. I'm the type of person who likes to stack bracelets on the daily, so this is going to be perfect for me. The color as well also makes this really easy to wear. This will go with pretty much any outfit, its simple but pretty which is pretty hard to find.

 

Overall I'm super impressed with the quality of this bracelet. I think this is going to be a bracelet I will have for a very long time. I will for sure be getting a lot of use out of it and that's for sure!

 

I think these pieces of jewelry would be a great gift for anyone really, they have a huge selection and they all are at great prices as well which is really nice :)

CreationTop on Etsy!

I received probably one of the coolest things to review on for my blog yet!

CreationTop sent me a personalized bead for my charm bracelet!

This bead for my bracelet is personalized with my favorite picture of my boyfriend and I in font of the castle at Disney World.

When I first seen this product listed in their shop I was curious on how it would actually be once I received one for myself. I was very nervous because I thought the picture would come out blurry or you wouldn't be able to really tell what it was. I'm also nervous when purchasing beads for my Pandora bracelet that aren't officially Pandora because sometimes they don't fit properly, but this one does!

I figured with the price being only $23.00 it probably wouldn't be that great, but to my surprise I was wrong.

It arrived in a really nice box and was on a piece of string inside the box. I'm so happy with how this bead came out. Its really adorable and I love it.

One side of this bead is the picture and the other side just has pink rhinestones all over it. The bead is really shiny and beautiful. I cant get over the quality for this price! These beads are way cheaper then a Pandora bead and there so personalized! You cant get anything more personal then your own picture and that's for sure.

This is the link for the bead:

Seadbeady on Etsy! Interview :)

Name: Renata Feyen
 

Location: Belgium
 

Age: 52
 

Name of shop: Seadbeady
 

How'd you come up with the name of your shop: I work a lot with seed beads and I accidently spelled it wrong first and kinda liked it so I kept it like that :)
 

How long has your shop been open: It has been open since 2013 - but I realized then that my work wasn't good enough so I closed it again until march 2014 - took me 3 months to make my first sale
 

What gave you the idea about opening an etsy shop: My niece told me about Etsy and I really liked the thought that I would be selling worldwide
 

Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: It is a hobby but it has turned into a passion. Hardly a day goes by without me making my beadworks. I do spend from 2 to 5 or 6 hours on it in a day.
 

What kind of items do you sell in your shop: I sell necklaces, bracelets, earrings and brooches. Most of it made with small seed beads.
 

Your favorite item that you sell: That would have to be the Bargello. They are the most sold item in my shop and also on local markets. They take about 10 hours or more to make and most of them are with Swarovski crystal and some with gemstones.

Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: So many things I could still want for - I would love to be on a magazine or featured on the Etsy blogs.
 

Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: My main plan is to get even more creative and get more out of my comfort zone. I already have made a few items like that - like my butterfly necklace. I am also always trying to improve the materials I work with. The more special items I can sell the better materials I can get. I have upgraded a lot already - I am now working with Miyuki and Toho - those are the best beads you can get for beadwork, and I started working with glass crystals and now am working with Swarovski crystals. I have bought more gemstones and am hoping to get even more expensive ones in the future.

 

What is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: Everything in my shop is made by myself with special sewing thread for jewelry. I work with quality materials. I also love getting special requests.

My favorite item in this shop has got to be this bracelet, it's absolutely beautiful. I'm in love with the colors in this bracelet it reminds me a lot of Elsa from frozen.
