    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.

    pearls 008Look 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!

    Holly Yashi Jewelry Review and Giveaway

    August 6, 2009 by Karissa  
    Filed under Giveaways

    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-logo

    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

    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

    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

    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!
