Gift Guide Giveaway: Bracelet Set

"I'm Michelle, the owner, designer, and hands behind Hecho-A-Mano Jewelry! It all started when my husband and I lived in Costa Rica for 10 months. I learned how to make macrame jewelry and haven't been able to stop! My jewelry is inspired by the people, culture, and beauty that is Costa Rica. These string bracelets are "la moda" (the style) in Central America and I really hope to spread that love all over the world! Mix them, match them, wear them however you like, they really are one of the trendiest fashion items to have."

Review + Giveaway • The Joyful Jewelry Box

We are thrilled to introduce you to The Joyful Jewelry Box! Lindsay creates pieces that are amazing and you fall more in love with each piece that you see. Her style is free and beautiful. All of her jewelry, honestly, will fill you with joy. Pure joy!

The Joyful Jewelry Box has something that everyone would pine for. Lindsay creates everything in the evening and on weekends. Just recently, she made the leap into making a business out of it. We imagine she will be pretty busy, very soon, because everyone will want her beautiful work!

When she heard that we were celebrating my (jasmine) birthday, she sent me a gift! Right? SO SWEET! I was so excited to open it. First, I fell in love with her packaging. Look at the attention to detail; hand stamped, pretty glass beads on a safety pin, and all that teal! I love me some teal!

Then I opened it. My jaw dropped. Inside was this stunning necklace of 24k gold, crystal, and the most amazing patinated metallic dark brown! I couldn't contain my excitement and, literally, did a happy dance. There was also a lot of jumping and smiling involved. When I put the necklace on, it had this wonderful weight to it. Honestly, I'm not a gold person but this has changed my outlook completely. 

You would think that I couldn't be any more excited, right? I was checking myself out in the mirror, then checking out my necklace, and found the back of the pendant. Are you kidding me? The back is so lovely and I am totally going to rock this necklace backwards. I really can't get over how amazing this present is!

You're in love with it too, aren't you? We know you are! Well, today is your lucky day. The Joyful Jewelry Box is giving 1 lucky winner the chance to win their own Crystal and 24k Gold Star Pendant Necklace ($60 value)! You're doing the happy dance now, huh?! I KNOW! SO exciting!!!

What are you waiting for? Check out The Joyful Jewelry Box now and enter to win this stunning necklace! The winner will be announced on Wed., April 30, 2014.
