Annie Reh Handstamped Jewelry Review and Giveaway

I'm not one of those women that have an entire jewelry box full of jewelry. Sure, I have lots of earrings and necklaces in there, but most of them are tarnished from not being worn for so long. I do have a few pieces that I love and wear on a daily basis though. And all of those pieces actually mean something to me, have sentimental value, like my engagement ring and a tennis bracelet my mom got me for my 18th birthday. So when Annie Reh Jewelry agreed to allow me to do a review, I was super excited! I knew this was something I would fall in love with and actually WEAR!

Before I talk about my beautiful necklace, let me tell you a little about Annie and her shop. Annie has a Fine Arts Major, and initially started making jewelry as a hobby. She loved it so much, she decided to take it up as her career, and was able to become a work-at-home mom. She devotes up to 12 hours a day on her jewelry making! She has a main website, Annie Reh Handcrafted Jewelry Design. From there, you can get to her two Etsy shops.

The first one, Handstamped Collection, has lots of beautiful pieces that you can customize in a number of ways. These are perfect for mothers, grandmas, sister....any lady that is close to your heart. You can celebrate the birth of your baby or anniversary with these pieces.

Her second store, Artistic Creations, specializes in more classy, elegant pieces that are perfect for brides, bridal parties, and special occasions. Of course, these pieces are great for everyday wear as well. Here you will find many gold pieces and all sorts of different charms.

She also recently added a new item to her shops, gemstone stretch bracelets, that you can also customize with names or words.

All of her pieces are made with high quality sterling silver, 14k gold filled, copper, and brass. There are MANY designs to choose from, but if you can't find anything that you love, she can create that perfect piece for you, however you like. Discounts are available for bulk orders, which is great for that bridal party and flower girls.

If you don't want to leave it to Lady Luck, you can use the code WT247 at checkout (coupon code) to receive a 10% discount on your order for the duration of this giveaway!

NOW, onto my personal review :) (All photos can be enlarged for high res photos!)

My necklace came in a cute box tied with a ribbon. Inside, there was a padding and the necklace was in a baggie to protect it.

 As soon as I opened it, I said, "Oh, it's so pretty!".

 

I was surprised to see just how shiny it was. It was impossible to take a picture of it with the flash on because it reflected off of it so much! The necklace came on a very nice, delicate chain. (I'm gonna have to be careful when I'm holding my son!) The letters of the names are evenly spaced and right in the middle of the charm.

 

I chose the 16" chain and it is the perfect length for me. I love the way the two charms lay while it's being worn. Both names are clearly visible. I really like the size of the discs. They're nice and dainty, not big and gaudy. I put it on and went out into the sun room. My mother-in-law came through the door, and immediately noticed my new necklace. She thought it was gorgeous!

 

My overall opinion of this necklace is that I absolutely love it! I knew it would be beautiful, but it turned out even more so than I thought it would be. I will proudly wear this necklace as an everyday piece. It definitely won't be sitting in my jewelry box getting tarnished like most of my jewelry!
