Inspired by the strength and magnificence of the Cyprus tree, the beautiful and stylish Branches of Hope pendant design by Jessica Fields inspires people to remember the importance of expressing gratitude. The stunning piece is cast in solid sterling silver and accompanied by an elegant Swarovski crystal attached carefully by hand with a wrapped silver cord. Perfect dressed up or dressed down to add a special accent to any outfit.

Some of their most popular pieces include Tahitian pearl necklaces, pink pearl bracelets, Akoya pearl jewelry sets and white South Sea pearl earrings.
Why shop with Museum Way Pearls?
I was quite happy to be contacted by Museum Way Pearl’s and offered to review an item. My only problem was that I couldn’t decided on what I wanted to review. My contact had originally suggested a pair of earrings, so I wrote back, and said, “anything from with Silver clasps/backings and from either the Lavender color or the Black color.” That took the decision making out of my hands.
So imagine my surprise when this box comes, and there is this gorgeous black velvet gift box, with a strand of Lavender Pearls inside! I look and do a double take. and to be completely honest, I didn’t realize at this point where they had come from! I looked the included appraisal, and see that this strand of pearls is worth $495! I read on, and saw the name Museum Way Pearls and knew then where they had come from. Then I put them on, and quickly ran to where Craig was at, and showed them off.
Look at how gorgeous my new Pearls are? I think Craig was a little jealous that he wasn’t the one that gave me these precious pearls!
My Lavender freshwater pearl necklace is vibrant and the colors are gorgeous. This would make a great piece for any woman, or young girl. The lustrous pearls are knotted by hand on silk and the my necklace is perfectly completed with white 14 karat gold clasp. My necklace has AA+ Pearls, and look 100% round to me, although they are promised to be nearly round. The clasp is VERY secure. You have to pinch it, then turn it to get it apart. No losing jewels with it!
So with out further adoe, I have the same necklace I have to give to one of you readers!! So one of you will also be the owner of a Fresh Water Lavender Pearl Necklace~size is 6.0-7.0mm pearls, quality is AA+, and your choice of 14Karat yellow gold, or white gold clasp! This necklace’s appraisal was for $495!
To enter, please go pick out pick out another piece of jewelry (besides this necklace) and tell me what it is, and tell me the first place you would wear it!

Ethora on Etsy, Review and Giveaway
During my bouts of insomnia, I can usually be found either writing posts, or online shopping. I usually don’t buy the items, I save them to my cart, or email them to myself and give it the ol’ 24 hours. If I still want it, I might get it, but I admit, most of the time I don’t.
This tree is by far my favorite. if anyone reading wants to donate to the Karissa needs more trees fund, please do so with this. =)
Ethora was a completely different story of my late night shopping escapades. I was fascinated, and mesmerized by the beauty of her creations. All of her creations are handcrafted out of recycled sterling silver wire, natural gemstones, and various special findings.
I purchased two rings. One Tiger’s Eye, and one a pinkish Moonstone. As you can imagine, I put them on as soon as they arrived. Now I sorta wish would have bought one of her more triangular shaped rings as these look the same minus the stone, but I am still thrilled with my purchase.
The owner of Ethora would like to give you the chance of owning one of her magical creations. A ring of your choice! To enter, head over to Ethora and tell me what your favorite piece is. I haven’t named names here, so you can use these items, just make sure you give me the proper Ethora name for it!

Holly Yashi Jewelry Review and Giveaway
This is by FAR my most favorite review EVER! And I promise it will be hard to top. And ya’ll know I am reviewing and giving away a SUPER SWEET VACUUM!
Holly Yashi jewelry is simply magnificent. Beautifully crafted and just exquisite. Made with re-purposed stones, and metals. Each piece is hand-crafted, welded joints, and colors are all speaking a marvelous language through their art.
Holly is the jewelry designer, and Yashi is the co-founder and CEO. When you combine the two, it equals magic. yes, it truly is that beautiful. I am completely unaware of how I got on their mailing list, maybe it was just destined. I received an email one day, and thinking Holly Yashi was a person, I opened it and discovered these beautiful treasures.
So let me show you some of my new favorite jewelry pieces!
Jada Earrings
Lucia Earrings
The picture simply doesn’t not do these precious jewels justice. I was stopped at least 5 times in one night when I had these on. And it was not just a quick, “i like your earrings.” It was full on stopped, starring and gushing. And of course begging for me to tell them where I got them. I started to feel like a star!
Love Spell Bracelet
Mirabella Bracelet
I was stopped while wearing this Mirabella Bracelet by two jewelry designers that just had to know who designed it, and had to touch it and I even let one try it on! I thought she might run away with it! yes, that is how beautifully crafted Holly Yashi jewelry is. The colors of the metal are amazing!
Swirling Surf Necklace and Earring Set
This pic def doesn’t do this justice. It has a swirly, blue and green, and near purple cast, that is almost pearlescent. and this is just the pendant for the necklace, the earrings are on a hook and are nearly the same size.
- Antonella Earrings
While I was on the Holly Yashi website tonight, I was drooling over everything. I want one of everything, especially the Bohemian Chic Collection. And the Inspired By Nature. They even have Wedding Jewelry. Who needs diamonds when you can stun with this?
Double Strand Classic Pearl Necklace
If you click on a photo then go to the magnifying glass, you can see everything extremely close up. You must do this on some of these so you get the full effect.
Okay so the moment you have all been waiting for, or the moment you skipped the rest of my post for!
I have one pair of Jada Earrings, one Love Spell Bracelet, a Swirling Surf Necklace and Earring Set, and a pair of Antonella Earrings up for grabs! Yes folks, I have all of those to giveaway! I am doing 4 winners. The Swirling Necklace and Earrings are paired. So to enter, I want you to go to Holly Yashi, and pay homage. And of course pick a piece that you would love to wear and come back here and comment with the name and where you would wear it first! Do not pick any that are on this page. Do to some confusion I have seen in entries, i want to remind you not to pick from the items being given away, but pick a UNIQUE item from the website. thanks!
