When I became a mom I gave up a lot; my crazy, wild, party days, my freedom, and my love of jewelry.  As soon as my first child was born it became nearly impossible to wear any type of jewelry without having it ripped out or pulled off, so except for my rings and earrings every once in a while I stopped wearing jewelry.  Now that my youngest child is old enough to know better than to pull off my necklace or chew on my bracelet I’ve started wearing them more and I couldn’t be happier about it. 

 

Recently I had a chance to review some amazing jewelry from CoppinsGifts.com and I can’t wait to tell you all about them!

 

About Coppin’s Gifts:

 

Coppin's Hallmark began in 1993 with one store in Logan, Utah. An online pioneer, Coppin's established its first online website in 1996.

Coppin's Hallmark has become one of the largest volume independent gift retailers in Utah and across the west (and online across the entire continental US). Coppin's has won awards, and top dealership status with many top gift brands including Precious Moments, Boyd's Bears, Willow Tree, Ty, Webkinz and more.

Coppin's Hallmark strives for 100% satisfaction and offers service guarantees on shipping, quality, and satisfaction on all of your purchases, so you can be assured that you will be happy and that your order will be fulfilled quickly and accurately, and if there is a rare mistake, we will make it right, quickly and fairly.

Over the years, Coppin's has added six other locations in Brigham City, Harrisville, Layton, Murray, and American Fork, Utah and Chubbuck, Idaho, and has been an online retailer through its own website, shared vendor sites and conducted online commerce through the Amazon and Ebay platforms. We will continue to bring extra features to Coppin's Hallmark Online over the next few months, so come back regularly.

Our goal is simple-To bring you the top gift ideas at industry leading low prices while providing fast and accurate delivery, every order.

As I already mentioned I recently had the chance to work with CoppinsGifts.com on a review,  for my review I was able to choose a bracelet adorned with the ultra trendy Davinci beads (Coppin’s version of the popular Pandora beads, but much less expensive…Coppin’s version go for $6.99 each) but  I decided that I wanted something a little more personal and went for charms for to represent each of my children.  So I chose:

 

* The Davinci Beads Music Note Dangle to represent my oldest daughter’s love of all things musical and to represent her amazing voice.

*  For my middle daughter Savanna I chose the Davinci Beads Tennis Shoe to represent her amazing gift of athleticism.

*For Lil Man I chose the Davinci beds cowboy boot dangle to represent the love of cowboy boots that he has always had.

* The  Davinci beads Sparkle Purse dangle to represent my Lil Diva and her love of all things sparkle and girly.

It may sound a little strange, but when I wear the bracelet I feel like I have a little piece of each one of my kids with me and that’s such a comforting feeling.  I also love being asked about the bracelet (and I receive a lot of compliments on it) and then explaining the story behind each charm. 

 

Of course, Coppin’s Gifts has so much more than jewelry, they also have some of my favorite figurines (Willow Tree), Plush toys (including Webkinz and My Pillow Pets) and so many other great gift ideas for every member of the family!  If you’re in need of a very special gift I definitely recommend Coppin’s Gifts—you won’t be disappointed!

 

Now I have a very special surprise for y’all!  One very lucky MIBR reader is going to win 3 beads (of the winner’s choice) and a toggle bracelet to place them on!  How awesome is that of Coppin’s Gifts?

I love jewelry, and I love finding and sharing companies with all of you that I adore, including Calypso Studios!  calypsologo_notree

 

I actually discovered Calypso Studios a while back, but only recently had the chance to work with them.  In case you aren’t familiar with Calypso Studios allow me to introduce you…

 

“Calypso Studios debuted in January 2007 with a line of jewelry and accessories created from the earth's natural elements: clay, shell and glass. The new line was immediately embraced and praised for the unique designs and mediums. The designs are on-trend and span the ages in both technique and the persons choosing these distinctive and exclusive designs. More than a conversation piece, Calypso Studios jewelry symbolizes good taste for an independent spirit. It is our hope that this art will bring much pleasure to who wear it. Calypso Studios jewelry indeed serves to commemorate life’s happy moments.”

 

I was actually surprised at the selection from Calypso Studios, they literally have every item of jewelry you could want or need; Necklaces, bracelets, rings, chokers, and SO much more.  There’s no way I could have chosen one item to review because everything is just so gorgeous and eye catching—thank goodness I didn’t have to pick just one item!

 

064

 

A couple of weeks ago Calypso Studios sent me a few pieces of their gorgeous jewelry to review…and I was in heaven!  I received pieces from a few of their many lines including the Carnival and It’s a Wrap lines.  While I loved all of the pieces I definitely had my favorites; I completely adore the It’s a Wrap bracelet I received and  bonus it can also double as a cute headband…my daughter rocked this look to perfection!  My absolute favorite piece of jewelry from Calypso Studios is without a doubt the Phoenix Red Sundance multi-strand necklace (pictured above)…simply stunning and so fierce!  I don’t usually wear necklaces, mainly because my children like to play, “let’s pull the necklace off mommy’s neck” game when I do, but this one I have wore so many times and I receive a ton of compliments every time that I do.  From gorgeous sea glass bangles to their beautiful and functional S.H.O.P Totes, Calypso Studios knows fabulous and so can you!image

 

From the amazing colors to the elegant simplicity of Calypso Studio’s many pieces it’s very easy to fall in love with what Calypso Studios does! 

 

I actually have a chance for one very lucky MIBR reader to fall in love with Calypso Studios too!  One lucky MIBR reader is going to win her choice of jewelry piece from the Sundance collection (my favorite)!  Details on how you can win below!

 

Win it!

To enter this giveaway simply leave a comment telling me which piece from the Sundance collection is your favorite…easy peasy!

Hey y’all! I’m back with Day 6 of Tickle Her Pink—I hope you’ve found some great gift ideas for Valentine’s Day and I encourage you all to enter all of the great giveaways (there’s a link list in my sidebar for easy access).

I’ve mentioned in previous posts my love of jewelry, I especially love finding unique custom jewelry that has is personal and special. When I decided to host a Valentine’s Day gift guide I knew that I wanted to include jewelry, because well it just wouldn’t have been a very good gift guide without bling! So when I was approached by Magpie Designz to do a review and giveaway it was the perfect fit.

For those of you not familiar with Magpie Designz let me give you the rundown on what they are all about. Magpie Designz is an online jewelry store of sorts, though honestly they are so much more. With necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pins and so much more available you will definietly be able to find something (or 2 or 3 somethings) that you love. Here’s a little background on Magpie Designz from their website.

Magpie Designz began in 2008 when I desperately needed a creative outlet to express myself. I have made jewelry ever since I can remember but I wanted to make something that was unique and personal. Along came my personalized jewelry line which has now taken over my life, in a good way of course! I LOVE designing jewelry to compliment anyone, especially moms. I am not a mom myself, however I adore my nieces and nephews like they're my own. It's not like we need any more help bragging about our loved ones, but just in case, my jewelry will give you plenty of bragging practice!

I received the To The Moon and Back necklace from Magpie Designz to review. I chose this necklace because of the saying inscribed on it--“To the Moon and Back”, that’s what I say to my kids when they ask me how much I love them, so this necklace was absolutely perfect for me. I love the worn, weathered look of this necklace and the freshwater pearl hanging from the middle (which represents the moon) is a wonderful touch. Magpie Designz has so many unique pieces of jewelry in their collection and the majority of it can be customized which makes Magpie Designz a great idea for a gift this Valentines Day!

moon_magpieBuy it: You can purchase the To The Moon and Back necklace that I received, and so many others online at Magpie Designz.

Now for the best part—Emily from Magpie Designz is giving one Misadventures in Baby Raising reader one of her beautiful necklaces!

Win it: One MIBR reader will receive the Jaden Necklace (pictured below). To be entered into this giveaway please visit Magpie Designz and have a look around, then come back and leave a comment on this post telling me which is your favorite item at Magpie Designs. This is mandatory and must be completed before any extra entries are counted!

Thursday, January 28, 2010

I’m so excited because today is Day 1 of Misadventures in Baby Raising’s Tickle Her Pink Valentines blog party! Make sure you check back daily to see the latest gift ideas for her and to enter some of the best Valentines giveaways in the blogosphere!

I love jewelry—I know what woman doesn’t—the problem is that I don’t get to wear it too often. Aside from my engagement ring (that never leaves my finger) and earrings every now and then I just don’t have the time or a good enough excuse to wear much else. Oh but that doesn’t stop me from admiring and occasionally buying it.

Recently I was introduced to LuShae Jewelry and I just could not resist the opportunity to share my find with all of you! LuShae Jewelry has a wide variety of unique jewelry to fit every taste. From promise rings to incredible necklaces and earrings. there is definitely something for everyone at LuShae Jewelry! Here is a little more about LuShae Jewelry from their website.eternity-hoop-earrings

Jewelry art designs offers a unique range of authentic sterling silver jewelry with a wide range of precious and semi precious gemstones. We follow celebrity and fashion jewelry trends sourcing the most contemporary high grade pieces available ensuring unmatched quality and value. We also operate a number of other retail websites in the fashion industry and have been operating online since 1999.

We are a privately owned company and genuinely committed to providing an excellent buying experience. Our entire product offering is backed by our returns and exchange policy. As always we welcome all feedback and suggestions as we constantly review our sales and supply processes.

I received the Brilliant CZ Cross Pendent to review. I have to be honest and tell you that I was skeptical about wearing CZ, but when I saw the necklace for the first time all of that doubt was put to rest because it was stunning. The cross pendent is bold and flashy without being too much, which is great for women like me who love to make a statement with their style. The cross pendent boasts 3 sparkling round clear CZ stones; one at each of its baguette arms and one in the middle. There are of course, lots of other great finds at LuShae so make sure you mention the need for some bling this Valentine’s Day and point your significant other to LuShae Jewelry!cross-necklace-lushae

**Updated at bottom with winner*

Thanks so much to all who entered!

I have always loved jewelry. When I was a little girl I remember sneaking into my mother’s jewelry box and admiring her pearls. Of all of the jewelry in that box her pearls were (and still are) my favorite! I have to admit I’ve always secretly longed for that strand of pearls, they were my grandmothers and I hope that one day I can place them in my jewelry box for my girls to admire!Untitled-1

Until that day comes I’ve found a perfect stand-in. I was recently introduced to a wonderful company called Pearl Paradise, a company whose mission is “making the beauty of pearls available and affordable to everyone.” I was very surprised by the large assortment of Freshwater Pearls, different sizes, different colors, there are so many to choose from! Here is a little more about Pearl Paradise from the website:

Founded in 1996 and brought online in 2000, Pearl Paradise has grown into the world's largest online pearl company, with 2006 sales topping $20 million. With a custom-built, 1,400-cubic-foot vault filled with pearls, we offer a selection of pearls unlike any other pearl seller, online or off. Our commitment to offering prices 80 percent below retail has accelerated our growth.

With more than 100,000 satisfied customers to date, we have benefited greatly by word-of-mouth advertising. Our commitment to quality, customer service, and unbeatable pricing and selection has helped us become the Internet’s premier source of pearl jewelry.

I received the 7.0-8.0 Black Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings to review. As my only experience with Pearl Earrings, prior to the pair I received from Pearl Paradise, was lusting after everyone else’s, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. When I opened the box containing the pearls I was in awe! Not only where the pearls absolutely beautiful but they were honestly spectacular in every way. As soon as I put them on I knew that taking them off would be a rare occasion.

Buy it! You can purchase all of the items mentioned above and much more at PearlParadise.com!

Now the cool part! One of my lovely readers is going to win the same pair of pearl earrings that I received to review!

Win it! To be entered into this giveaway please go to Pearl Paradise and look around, come back here and leave a comment telling me which item from the site you would love to have (besides the earrings I received). This is mandatory and must be completed before any additional entries are counted!
