Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there — whether you're a long-time mom or a mom-to-be — this day is for you!

In honor of Mother's Day, I thought it was the perfect time to give a shout-out to a jewelry shop on Etsy that created a personalized necklace for my mom last year. Bella Ray Designs {click the name to go right to the shop} offers spectacular customized designs via hand-stamped jewelry, using quality materials and a detail-oriented eye. I've ordered a number of different hand-stamped necklaces for different occasions within the last year through three other Etsy shops, but none of them compared to Bella Ray Designs. I found that the other shops often used thinner metal that was more flimsy, so you could see the stamps through the back of the pendants. I also noticed other shops didn't take as much time to center the stampings in the perfect positions on the pendants, and some of them were even a bit scratched when I received them. But most importantly, the prices were higher at the other shops, and in return the jewelry wasn't as high-quality as Bella Ray Designs. So I will continue to recommend this shop before any others, as I'm positive you won't be disappointed.
{I also received my order in less than a week, which was fantastic! One of the other shops I ordered from took six weeks to arrive, so I missed the occasion I had it made for — big FAIL.}

So here is the necklace she made for my mother {it's the actual necklace, with my name and birthstone, and my brother's name and birthstone}. Isn't it pretty? The birthstones ended up complementing each other quite well — I really love the pastel color combination. And to top it off, my mom loved it.
