I chose to review the Mom and Daughter locket because I figured I could give it to her one day.

It came in a pretty black velvet box with bow.

I had a picture of Little Miss on one side and a picture of her and I together on the other side.  I was very impressed with the quality of the locket.  The pictures were very clear and the colors looked nice.  The locket came with a beautiful 18 inch Sterling Silver Box Chain.

They also offer inscriptions on the lockets.  I chose “Exodus 14:14″ because it became a very special verse to me during my pregnancy. The engraving was very nicely done.  Sometimes, ti can be too small to read but not in this case.

I love my new locket and am excited to be able to show off my baby girl everywhere I go!

I love jewelry that has meaning.  When I came across Show & Tell Faith, I knew I wanted to work with them!  They make scripture-themed necklaces that are a beautiful as they are meaningful!  The company was started by two Christian friends who wanted to create a way for Christian women  to share what they believe and show their faith through spiritual message jewelry.  The’r large selection of necklaces and charms makes it fun and easy to share your faith!  I was sent the Be Still rounds bauble necklace.

The necklace has a round silver plated bauble charm that reads “Be still and Know that I am God” along with a pewter cross and round fresh water pearl on an 18″ chain.    It’s even prettier than I expected!  The charms are just the right size and I love the detail on the cross.  I love the scripture on the charm.  It’s a good reminder to just slow down and remember that God is in control.

Show & Tell Faith has so many great charms to choose from, including hand stamped imprints, two sided circles, and soldered frames.  They say things like  ”Blessed”, “Life is Beautiful”, and “I am His”.  I would love to get this necklace for Little Miss when she gets older since this verse was very special to me during my pregnancy with her.

There are hundreds of combinations to choose from when creating your necklace!  You’re sure to find one that speaks for you!

One lucky reader will win a Bauble necklace for themselves!

Are you stuck wondering what on earth you can do AND afford to make Valentine’s Day special this year?  If so, check out Shadora for low prices on jewelry.  Technically, you should check them out for any gift idea for any time of the year, but with Valentine’s just around the corner it is a great idea for that special day.  Shadora sent me a pair of 2 carat White Topaz Stud earrings.  I did a little research and learned that Topaz means “heat” or “fire” making it a great jewel for Valentine’s Day too!

These are lovely earrings.  They are big enough to be seen but not so large to look overpowering.

My husband wishes he had found Shadora before me because their site is loaded with great gift ideas.  Their prices start at just $4.99 for some items!  I am very pleased with my stud earrings.  I have worn them several times already.

One really neat feature about the Shadora site is their quick turnover.  No item remains for sale more than 30 days.  You are always going to find new, fresh items on their site.  Shipping is ALWAYS free and there is no minimum order to receive the free shipping.  You could really make someone’s day by having a gift from Shadora sent their way.

What do see from Shadora that catches your eye?

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

 


For Christmas, my mom gave me the locket that I had as a baby.  It had very special memories for her and I’m glad to have it.  I also have the locket my husband gave me on our first Christmas.  Unfortunately, the picture inside didn’t hold up very well.  Pictures On Gold has a line of unique photo jewelry that has the image lasered right onto it!  I received their   Sterling Silver Heart “Valentine” Photo Locket.

The process was easy.  I just emailed them my photo and what I wanted engraved on the locket and within a week, I had the beautiful necklace above!  It turned out really nice and the picture looks great!  I chose a photo of my self, my husband and my baby girl since it will eventually be hers.  I thought it may end up looking a little blurry or low quality but I was wrong.  The image is sharp and the colors are great!  The engraving looks really nice as well.  I was really impressed with it!  The chain for the locket is beautiful!  It’s very shiny and sturdy as well.  This is important since Little Miss likes to grab at my necklace while she nurses.  I love that the picture is water proof since I admit, I’m not the best at remembering to remove my jewelry before showering or swimming.  I love my new locket and plan to pass it on to Little Miss when she’s old enough to wear it.

Pictures On Gold works hard to make sure you get a quality product that you’re happy with.  They offer many services to get just the look you want.  They can digitally enhance your photo and can even bring two people  in a  photograph close together.  They use the  finest 14k gold, white gold and Sterling Silver in their jewelry.  Their Valentine’s Day Lockets would make a great gift for the sweetheart in your life!

In addition to their lockets, Pictures On Gold also carries  bracelets, anklets, rings, lighters, key chains, and pendants.  I would definitely recommend Pictures On Gold for a beautiful keepsake that will last a lifetime!  You can connect with Pictures On Gold on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
