As a proud mom of two, I love nothing more than having my kids' names, birthstones, etc. on the jewelry I wear. It's pieces like this that are most meaningful to me and those that I find myself grabbing to wear most often. That's why I couldn't have been happier to find juliethefish designs and her amazing collection of custom, hand stamped jewelry and gifts.
Having had a love for crafts from the time she was very young, Julie took an interest in hand stamped jewelry after seeing a friend's necklace with her son's name on it. She began hand stamping sterling silver which is how the journey of her Etsy shop began. Aside from staying home with her boys during the day and teaching at night, Julie continues to make hand stamped custom keepsakes for customers all over the world!
As I browsed juliethefish designs for the first time, I was in awe of her selection of beautiful custom, handmade keepsakes. There's certainly something special about her unique, simple style that stands out above the rest. With everything from necklaces and bracelets to hand stamped gifts, earrings/rings and more...juliethefish designs offers something for everyone.
Having a love for personalized jewelry, I was very excited to learn I was going to have the opportunity to review an item from juliethefish designs! I spent a long time browsing through the selection of great pieces and found many I'd love to have. Although difficult to narrow it down, I decided on the hand stamped silver flower and circle necklace and am so happy I did!
Before even pulling the necklace out of the box, I was already impressed! Julie had tucked my necklace in a cute box. It definitely was professional and gave a great first impression. I love when companies take the time to package their items with such care. The box not only kept the necklace safe and is a great place to keep it when I'm not wearing it, but it also makes it perfect if you're looking to give the item you buy as a gift.
Of course, I couldn't wait to see the necklace! Upon opening the box, I was in awe. The necklace and craftsmanship were even more stunning than I had expected. The beautiful ball chain is Italian made sterling silver. I had the choice of 16 or 18 inches, and went with 16 inches. It's perfect! The fact that it's strong and not something that will break easily is much appreciated. With two little ones constantly tugging at my jewelry, quality is a must!
My favorite part about the necklace would definitely have to be the personalized 5/8" sterling silver circle and flower. I am just so incredibly impressed with the quality of Julie's work. Kaelyn and Kaden's names are so nicely hand stamped on each. She individually hand stamps each letter, so any variation in spacing or alignment gives it an even more unique feel and charm. I absolutely love it!
I really like that the circle and flower are not flat too. The fact that they're domed gives it a unique feel and is different than anything I've seen or owned. You can also choose to have extras like a pearl, charm or birthstone added to the necklace which I think is really neat. Mine has a small pearl that really gives it the finishing touch...a simple elegance.I have been wearing the necklace almost every day since it arrived in the mail and have received several compliments already. It's large enough that it stands out for people to notice and see my kids' names, yet small enough that it goes well with pretty much any outfit I'm wearing.
I am very happy with the hand stamped silver flower and circle necklace. Everything from the look to the quality is absolutely amazing. It's beautiful and a piece I will not only wear a lot, but will cherish always! As I said, Julie has an amazing selection of jewelry and keepsakes to choose from in her Etsy shop. I would definitely recommend juliethefish designs to anyone looking for high quality hand stamped custom jewelry and gifts...with such a great selection, you're sure to find something you absolutely adore.
