The Ultimate Gift Part2

I have finally found the time to write part 2 of this post. Holiday time is just soooo crazy and stressful. I have one more holiday boutique to do this week and perhaps when it's over I can relax a little. In my last post, I mentioned two people who are kind enough to share their wealth of knowledge, give tutorials and business advice to those of us trying to promote our businesses on the Internet.

This evening I would like to mention a lovely lady whose work I featured in this post. I contacted her about featuring her work for my holiday shopping guide and wrote the feature including photos of her beautiful jewelry pieces. I have done this for many artisans and usually, but not always, receive a thank you and a nice comment on my blog. Maureen of Cosmosmoon went one step further. She made a ring just for me, which I now wear everyday . How special to receive a gift from a person I have never met just for writing a feature about her work. This act of kindness made my day wonderful and is what makes the holiday season special.

Wedding Day Jewels

Before you know it, June weddings will be the focus for young couples ready to take the plunge. One of the many decisions that needs to made is wedding bands and what the bride will wear with her gown. This stunning handmade14k gold band by Giftbearer will be a symbol of love for years to come. Perfect for the bride or groom, the braided bands symbolize the intertwining of love, hope and dreams. This ring which measures 7 and 1/4" wide can be given for other occasions as well.


The necklace below is made by Elektra Jewelry Design with top quality freshwater keishi pearls, a crystal studded magnetic clasp and vintage swarovski beads. the pearls have amazing sheen and luster. It measures 18" long and can be worn with the clasp in the front, the side, or in the back. It will compliment a scoop neck, v neck or strapless gown and can be worn again and again with many outfits due to its classic design. Either one of these pieces is sure to become a family heirloom.
