I have to admit that I’ve never really worn pearls before… they always seemed a little old-fashioned for me. When I received my Black Akoya Pearl Necklace from Pearl Paradise, I definitely changed my mind. These pearls are beautiful, and unique! The black color makes them hip and fashionable and I feel great wearing them. The website gives a history on the Akoya pearls, which is the “classic pearl”. They are treated in order to get the beautiful black color. The pearl necklace came with a certified appraisal (it is valued at over $1000!), a pearl care kit, and a beautiful gift box. Pearl Paradise has pearls in so many different colors, including pink and chocolate! The chocolate pearls are pretty pricey, but they are seriously gorgeous! They would make a great gift- it was fun and exciting to open!

“What are Mommy Necklaces™?

We specialize in what have often been referred to as ‘nursing necklaces’. Hmmm, nursing necklace? Yep, nursing, as in breastfeeding. A nursing necklace is to be worn while (you guessed it!) …nursing. A nursing necklace aids in reducing pinching, pulling, distractibility and other common busy baby problems! Pretty clever, huh? But nursing necklaces don’t only benefit breastfeeding mothers. Our nursing necklaces are ‘mommy necklaces’, designed with extra TLC to stand-up to the job of wearing a necklace around children.

Mommy Necklaces™ are more than that…

No beads crashing to the floor at the grocery store, no chipped glass beads after being banged on the coffee table for the 50th time, and no more breakage of your finer jewelry. Nursing necklaces are not made for teething or to be used by baby in any way other than touching. Our products are still considered jewelry….jewelry with extra TLC! Mommy Necklaces™ nursing necklaces will help you wear a necklace with confidence again!”

I love to wear jewelry- it always makes me feel put together. Since having my kids, though, I very rarely wear it. Usually only the occasional date nights or mom’s night out. Which was why I was super excited to try out my Mommy Necklace! A baby friendly necklace I can wear ALL the time- and something that is totally OK for my two babies to pull on. Fabulous!

The quality really is great- I don’t think either of my boys process the strength to break this one. Ruben is just getting to the point where he loves to “play” while nursing. Usually his favorite toy is my hair. (Ouch!). But every time I’ve worn my necklace while nursing he is totally entertained with it and leaves my poor hair alone. Not to mention the fact that the necklace is ADORABLE and I’ve gotten many compliments from other moms. (It’s so cute I wore it to “Mom’s Night Out”- don’t even need a baby to want to wear it!) Mommy jewelry is so great for any mother- and Mommy Necklaces have a style to fit everyone’s taste. They have multiple collections with different styles, be sure to check them out!

Things that are Brag Worthy:

• 3 year guarantee
• Great to use while nursing
• Mutually beneficial while nursing – engaged baby, pain-free mommy!
• Safe alternative to regular jewelry
• Stylish & trendy
• Strong enough to keep baby from breaking it
• You can wear jewelry ALL the time!
• Non-toxic
• High-quality acrylic beads are light-weight and comfortable

♥ I was so excited when I was asked to do a review for one9designs. She has many amazing designs to choose from. I have 4 kiddos and immediately fell in love with the Hand Stamped Personalized Necklace. I chose to have my kiddos names. When I got it in the mail, I was overwhelmed with joy. I have always wanted something personal like this. She even included a sweet heart charm. Very cute. I was also very lucky and received a Stacking Ring Set. This was beautiful as well. Each of the three pieces were hammered on fine silver to make a unique stack. It came with one chunky ring and 2 skinny rings. The quality that one9designs has in their jewelry is amazing. You will be very happy with any purchase you make. The prices are even great. Which makes gift shopping fun and easy too! ♥

A few of my favorites....

"SOAR" This inspirational necklace makes me think of succeeding in following my dreams.

It is... A 3/4 inch sterling silver disc, has been hand stamped with the word SOAR, textured, oxidized, and then paired with a sterling silver filigree bird. An inspirational reminder for you - or a great gift for a friend that is embarking on a new adventure in life! Hangs from an 18 inch sterling silver cable chain.

"Swirls & Initials Blessed" necklace. I just love the swirls. What can I say. It is a beautiful piece.

It is... A hand stamped sterling silver necklace that is personalized with initials. The initial discs are each .25 inches, and the larger disc is .75 inches. They are stamped with an overall texture swirl - in this necklace, which I made for myself, I included the word "blessed" - because that is how I feel (most of the time!!!) when I think of my girls. :) Yours will be custom-made with that word, or another word of your choice.

"Blue Earth" ring. What a gorgeous stone. I love this ring for its unique stone.

It is... a piece of blue sea sediment jasper in a sterling silver bezel, made by hand, and soldered it to a hand forged sterling silver band. The stone is quite lovely and vibrant, and reminds me of the view of earth from space.

Discount: 15% off for mentioning "BraggingMommy15" in notes to seller while checking out.
