I have been on quite the jewelry kick lately in posts, right? Well, now I have something for you guys, celestemichelle has offered one of my readers the chance to win a one of a kind necklace! I am quite jealous of whoever wins, you will be getting a GORGEOUS necklace made specifically for the giveaway by Michelle, the owner of celestemichelle. It will have a swarovski glass drop pendant, pave crystal ball and a semi quartz stone.  Here is a photo of the necklace the winner will receive, click to enlarge:

The celestemichelle girl is someone who is as savvy risk taker with a bold personality and great style. Do you fit that description? (I am sure you do!) Before we get to the rules of the giveaway here are some pieces that I am TOTALLY in love with:

After seeing my friend Courtney's post about Anjolee Jewelry I fell in love.  They had such gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are perfect for any occasion! They have simple pieces and more fun/statement jewelry.  I commented about how much I loved the jewelry and a little while later Anjolee contacted me to ask if I would like to review some of their hoop earrings! I jumped at the chance and was sent their GORGEOUS Must Have Diamond Hoop Earrings in 10k white gold with 1.07ct diamonds.

They have such a vast selection of diamond hoop earrings and other jewelry that anyone kind find a piece they enjoy! Whether you go for simple pieces (like me) or pieces that have a bit more weight to them. I think my favorite part of these earrings was the clasp, the earrings are made so that the post goes into the earring and has a rivet so it says in place. So the closure is hidden and it makes it harder to come undone. That is especially important when you are wearing diamond earrings, who wants to lose such an expensive and rare piece of jewelry?! Click the photos below to view larger:

While perusing the site I found out some very interesting information about Anjolee.  Firstly, they are the manufacturer of the jewelry so they get all the materials and make them, so you know that the quality is going to be top notch.  They have been in business for 33 years, as well, so they are at the top of the trade. The company is also green, they recycle all materials which prevents any unnecessary toxic discharge to the environment. They actually produce each order after it is placed with the production time being 3 days. Pretty awesome, don't you think?!

I received these earrings free for the purpose of reviewing,  I was not, however, paid to write a positive review.
I must be a magnet for jewelry companies this summer! I'm not complaining though, my jewelry collection is sorely lacking in many areas, ha ha.  A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to John Wind/Maximal Art and their amazing jewelry.

Maximal Art was started in 1985 by Philadelphia-native artist John Wind after studying jewelry making at the Slade School of Art in London.  He says, "Over the years, we’ve sold many thousands of necklaces, brooches, earrings, bracelets, frames, etc… but ultimately every single piece goes out into the world and finds a home and makes someone happy. That direct, personal, uplifting moment is what it’s all about. And I thank you for allowing me to spend my life doing this."
John picked out this gorgeous set of Sparkling Daisy jewelry from the Jewelry Box collection for me. It isn't my usual style of jewelry, I'm more of a simple girl, BUT it is so gorgeous and I can definitely see myself wearing it on a classy night out on the town! I love how the flower on the necklace is off-center, it adds so much more interest to the piece. The quality is amazing and you can definitely tell that these products are made with love! Click to enlarge the photos.

They also make personalized letter pieces which are perfect for gifts! I am also quite taken with the following pieces, I may need to splurge and purchase the adorable pink flower earrings for myself.
For more information about Maximal Art visit their website, Facebook and Twitter!

I was sent the earrings and necklace free of charge for the purpose of this review, I was not, however, paid to write a positive review.

No post tomorrow since I'm... MOVING! AH!! XD Hopefully we will get internet up at our place soon, we were originally going to get ATT Uverse but they said the earliest they could install was September 22nd...um NOT HAPPENING! So we're calling today and Monday to see if they had any cancellations, otherwise we're finding something else.
What girl doesn't love jewelry, especially if it is really pretty gold jewelry like you can find at ShopNBC's store?  They have a ton of amazing pieces from statement jewelry and other trendy pieces to simple pieces that will last forever (diamond earrings anyone?).  Some of my favorite pieces can be seen below. I am very taken with all of the floral rings, they are just so pretty! I think my favorite piece is the Tri-Color Floral Ring

1. 14K Gold 2.00ct Blue, Green or Yellow Diamond Pendant w/ Chain
2. 14K Tri-Color Polish & Satin Dimensional Floral Ring
3. 14K Gold Diamond Leaf Wrap Ring
4. 14K Gold 7" Amethyst or Carnelian Grande Flex Bangle Bracelet
5. 14K Gold Electroform Dolce Bouquet Ring
6. 24K Gold Pave-Style Polished Accent Ring

If you're headed to a cocktail party and want to dress simply but still have some fun pieces this jewelry is a great option.  Check out the outfit I put together, the black dress is the base and then I accessorized with the amazing jewelry! I decided to layer some bracelets since that's what the cool kids are doing these days and opted not to add a necklace or ring. Even mixing metals is cool now, so go wild!
14K 7.25" White Akoya Pearl Bracelet - $83
14K White, Rose or Yellow Gold 7.25" Ribbon Omega Bracelet - $82.96
Silicoro™ 7.75" or 8.5" Allegro Glitter Bangle Bracelet - $64.55
14K Gold / Black Rhodium 7" Flex Greek Key Design Bangle Bracelet - $119
14K Gold Orange, Pink or Red Diamond Stud Earrings - $175

I was compensated for this post, but my opinions are my own.
