Why I Prefer Real Jewelry: Silverloops.com Review and GIVEAWAY!!

June 19, 2012 · by Tiffany Merritt · 48 Comments

I remember when I was a child and I was ready to graduate from “kiddie” jewelry to something a bit more grown-up looking. My mother gave me some advice that I’ve never forgotten about jewelry. She told me that it is perfectly fine to have a few pieces of costume jewelry that are trendy, but that most of my jewelry collection should be elegant, timeless and REAL. That means gold and sterling silver.

She didn’t give me that advice because she’s a jewelry snob. She just knew that these pieces would last longer and become more special to me. She was absolutely right. The majority of my jewelry collection is real. I don’t have a huge collection of pieces, but what I do have is quality, and I’ve worn many of the pieces for 10 or 15 years, which makes them rich with memories.

Do you feel the same way about jewelry? Or are you wishing that you had a bit more of the real stuff? Silverloops.com is a site that can help you out in the sterling silver department, even if you are on a budget! This company aims to provide the highest quality pieces of jewelry that are both exquisite and affordable. Gotta love that!

I received these twisted square earrings, and I am delighted by them. They are simultaneously flirty and delicate. I enjoy having an earring that dangles a bit but that isn’t over-the-top, screaming for attention as so many dangly earrings are, in my opinion. Given that they are sterling silver, I’m also very pleased with their price point. They are listed at $30 but are on sale for $25! Not bad for a pair of earrings that I’ll hang on to forever!

If you are in the market for sterling silver jewelry, do yourself a favor and check out what Silverloops.com has to offer. They’ve got something for everyone!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a $20 gift certificate to Silverloops.com!

Fantasy Jewelry Box Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

April 4, 2012 · by Tiffany Merritt · 3 Comments

I’m not usually one to closely follow celebrities or their fashions, but I will admit that they often lead the trends that trickle down to the rest of us, so it makes sense to check in on what they are wearing every now and then.

I also can’t help but notice that celebrities tend to wear some really unique and beautiful jewelry; stuff you can’t really find in your local stores. If you CAN find those looks, they are often at really marked up prices, precisely because someone famous was seen wearing them.

Fantasy Jewelry Box is an online affordable jewelry destination that I absolutely love, because they stay on top of the hottest trends in jewelry (including what celebrities are wearing) so that you don’t have to do any of the hunting yourself. And they quickly and beautifully recreate those looks that you’d love to wear, yourself, but they leave the ridiculous prices behind.

I recently received my second piece of jewelry from Fantasy Jewelry Box (here’s a link to my first review….I STILL am bonkers for these earrings). This time I went for a necklace. Often times I find that fashion costume jewelry can look great as a pair of earrings, but look somewhat cheap on larger pieces, like necklaces.

But I could not have been more pleased with the piece I received. While the chain is on the thin side, the pendant itself looks like REAL GOLD. Honestly! It looks absolutely fantastic. The detail on the piece is also exquisite, which is one more reason that I think it looks like the real deal. I’ve been wanting a leaf necklace for a while, and I’m so glad I got one from Fantasy Jewelry Box. They absolutely nailed this look! It also is a quality-made piece, being .925 sterling silver with 14K gold electroplated.

Fantasy Jewelry Box has a HUGE selection of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces that will help bring your wardrobe up to date without putting a big dent in your budget. They offer free shipping on orders over $75, and free earrings with any $50 purchase. I’ve been extremely pleased with both of my pieces, and I would very highly recommend them to anyone!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a $25.00 gift certificate to Fantasy Jewelry box (please note, you can only win one contest from FJB every 6 months).

Celebrity-Inspired Jewelry from Fantasy Jewelry Box

November 23, 2010 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

I always feel a bit more put together when I’m wearing some nice jewelry. It is all too easy to forget about how we look when we’re so focused on making sure our kids are wearing socks and shoes (why yes, I did take Darah to daycare recently without them, and why yes, it was way too cold for me to forget!). If I’m lucky, I’ll give myself a quick once over to make sure I don’t have dried food on me from Darah’s breakfast. Half the time I do. And half the time I still don’t change. Because dried food is oh-so-chic, my friends.

Kate Winslet - Fantasy Jewelry Box Review Every once in a while, though, I’ll snag some affordable jewelry for myself. I’m always pleased when I can find something that is inexpensive and that I know will not be out of style or broken within a season (this is assuming that Darah doesn’t get into my jewelry box, of course). Fantasy Jewelry Box is an online site that offers really beautiful pieces of jewelry that might not be the real deal, but are just as lovely!

I was sent these super gorgeous CZ diamond drop earrings. Check out the earrings they are inspired by on none other than Ms. Kate Winslet.

These are .925 sterling silver and fantasty jewelry box review 14K White Gold Electroplated. They have a 1 inch drop and are 2.5 carats each (that’s what I’m talkin’ about!). I love the setting they are in, and I’m really having fun wearing them. I’ll never have real diamond earrings this big, let’s just be real about that. But now I have these, and they are beautiful! 🙂

I don’t normally follow along with the latest happenings of celebrities, but I have to admit, I really had a blast checking out this site’s celebrity jewelry section. Celebrities are often the ones who get to show off some of the most stunning jewelry in the world. Fantasy Jewelry Box re-creates those beautiful pieces for the rest of us! I have no idea who this celebrity even is, but I sure do want her bracelet!

Buy it!:
Fantasy Jewelry Box has an amazing selection of truly gorgeous pieces that will add sparkle to your holiday party attire, or just bring some bling into your everyday life! Their prices are very reasonable, and there’s something there for everyone! Right now they are offering an additional 10% off any item that’s already on sale! Just use the code SPECIALSALE10 at checkout!
