#CGG: Pure Pearls Necklace Review & Pearl Bracelet Giveaway

White Freshwater Pearl Necklace 

Pure Pearls has one of the largest selections of pearls online. They offer high quality, fine pearl jewelry at discount prices and savings of up to 85% below retail! Pure Pearls specializes in Akoya pearls, Freshwater pearls, Tahitian pearls with custom pearl jewelry sets, pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, Freshwater pearl bracelets and more.

For my review, I was sent the Freshwater Pearl Necklace, 6.0-7.0mm, in the natural-color white. My necklace arrived in a beautiful black jewelry box, along with an appraisal value of $550.00! Pearls aren’t just for grandma’s anymore; they’re classic, timeless and absolutely stunning. The classic pearl necklace I received pairs beautifully with formal wear but can easily be worn with a casual ensemble for an added touch of glamour.

The necklace I received is 18 inches long which is a great length. It’s long enough to still be seen on most clothing necklines and it’s short enough to not get caught on an object when bending over. If you’re at all claustrophobic, the 22-inch or 32- inch would be a better choice as the 18-in may be too restrictive. 

The length of this necklace can be customized to fit your needs which is why you have the options to select your favorite length (16-inch, 18-inch, 22-inch, 32-inch), freshwater pearl quality (AA+, AAA), overtone color (rose, silver, cream) as well as the clasp color (14k yellow gold, 14k white gold, 14k white gold and diamond heart clasp). The necklace are made with Filigree fish hook clasps which seem to be standard for most pearl jewelry. They are easy to use and keep your pearls very secure. I have worn my necklace several times and the necklace stays on until I remove it myself.

This necklace may be purchased at Pure Pearls for $110.00.

Steel Orchids Charm Bracelet Review

Steel Orchids was established seven years ago by jewelry designer and silversmith, Mary Micouris. They have an ever-expanding catalogue of gold, diamond, silver and gemstone jewelry in everything from bracelets, necklaces, earrings and beautiful charms.

Charm bracelets have been a favorite of mine since I was a young girl. They are such a classic piece that can be worn by girls and women of all ages. I was especially giddy when I found out I would be reviewing a Giorgio Martello Charm bracelet.

I received the Silver Bracelet from Lucky Charms by Giorgio Martello. Crafted from sterling silver, this beautiful charm bracelet is such a timeless jewelry piece. The base of this dangling charm bracelet is made from interlocking links. The bracelet I received is 19.5 cm. in length, yet it is also available in a longer, 20.5 cm length.

You can wear this charm bracelet alone, or dress it up with a few charms that really help show off your unique personality. I was sent two charms, both from the Lucky Charms by Giorgio Martello collection.

              

The first charm is a beautiful Silver Starfish Charm. The second is a gorgeous Seashell and Pearl Charm. Both charms are exquisitely and carefully crafted out of sterling silver 925. The rhodanised surface offers an outstanding finish which increases comfort and prevents tarnishing.

Both charms feature a lobster claw clasp, which is my absolute favorite type of closure. They are easy to add to the charm bracelet and they remain secure. I have lost many charms throughout the years, but never a charm with a lobster-clasp closure. The Starfish Charm and Seashell Charm remind me of the beach and would be great for anyone who loves the water or beach. Both are high quality and look absolutely stunning when paired with the Giorgio Martello Charm Bracelet.

The nice thing about Giorgio Martello Lucky Charms is their versatility. They can easily be added to your charm bracelet, necklace or even earrings which allows you to easily change your charm beads to match your outfit or current mood. Charm Bracelets are always in style and make great gifts for any occasion. Steel Orchids has hundreds of charms to match any personality and with their superior quality, great selection and fast shipping, I highly recommend them for all of your charm and jewelry needs. 

WHERE TO BUY: The Giorgio Martello Charm Bracelet and Charms may be purchased online.

WIN IT: Steel Orchids has generously offered to provide one lucky reader with the same Giorgio Martello Charm Bracelet and charms I received. Enter the Steel Orchids Jewelry Giveaway here.

Fantasy Jewelry Box Review + Giveaway

Jewelry is a great accessory, no woman should ever go without. Adding the right pieces of jewelry will help add personality and style to any outfit. But sometimes that is hard to do considering the high prices of most jewelry. Fantasy Jewelry Box offers affordable jewelry for any budget- yes even yours!

I recently discovered Fantasy Jewelry Box while reading People Magazine. I noticed a gorgeous vintage ring worn by a female celebrity. The ring worn cost more than $4,000.00! Next to the celebrity ring was an identical ring from Fantasy Jewelry box, only the price was only $48.95. Now, that is what I call affordable! I knew I had to have the beautiful vintage inspired ring, therefore I chose the Bianca's Antique Style Champagne CZ Ring.

This rich and lavish vintage inspired ring arrived beautifully tucked inside a darling small signature pink jewelry box. This Sterling Silver Ring is available is sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and even 10! I found the size to fit perfectly. If you are unsure of your ring size, Fantasy Jewelry Box offers a convenient printable ring sizing chart.

The Bianca's Antique Style Champagne CZ Ring. is made from high quality Cubic Zirconia and .925 Sterling Silver. This ring features a clear champagne color, is brilliant cut with a round shape and includes a prong setting with inlaid setting. The total carat weight is 3.25 carats. This sparkling silver ring is perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Pregnancy caused my fingers to swell and I have not been able to wear my ring in months. This ring would make a perfect engagement ring, or a wedding band, which is why I am wearing it on my ring finger. Don't tell my husband, but I actually prefer the Fantasy Jewelry Box ring to my wedding ring. It is absolutely breathtaking and I love wearing it daily!

Fantasy Jewelry Box has an extensive collection of  jewelry to satisfy any woman's taste. They have everything from women's rings, men's rings and men's jewelry, earrings, necklaces and pendants, bracelets, promise rings, wedding sets and more. Finally, celebrity inspired jewelry at a price we can all afford! Whether you are looking for a timeless piece such as a diamond tennis bracelet  or something trendy like colorful  Bohemian jewelry, Fantasy Jewelry Box offers jewelry at unbeatable prices!

My Review
My pearl bracelet arrived in a beautiful black gift box along with two Pearl Sachets and a luxury Microfiber Pearl Cloth. In addition, I was also sent a authentic certified appraisal. This purchase price for this bracelet is $45.00. You may need to take a seat before I tell you the appraisal value! This bracelet was appraised for $525.00!

This is my first pearl bracelet and I am so excited to show it off! Everyone who sees me wearing it comments on how beautiful it is and asks where to get one. I have never seen this type of clasp before and was worried that the clasp would come loose. I have been wearing my pearl bracelet for several days and it hasn't come loose a single time.

Pearls are timeless and can be worn with nearly everything you choose from your wardrobe. My bracelet has a beautiful shimmer and is simply breathtaking . The white, lavender and pink colors will surely compliment any skin tone. The pearls in this bracelet are perfectly shaped and simply gorgeous. I look forward to wearing my pearls for years to come!
