Celebrating Moms Event #1: The Pretty Peacock Review and Giveaway




For quite some time now I've been looking at getting a piece of jewelry with both my kids' names on it. I not only want it to be beautiful, but unique as well. It's meaningful pieces such as this that I find I wear the most. That's why I was really happy when I came across The Pretty Peacock.


The Pretty Peacock began as a way to feed a creative soul. It has now become a passion of its creator, Ana, to design pieces that celebrate love and special moments in life. Each piece is created with great care and pride. Ana believes that jewelry should not just be something that matches an outfit, but it should be something that evokes emotion and conversation.

I love the idea behind this company...it really represents everything I was looking for in a piece of jewelry for myself. That's why I was very excited when I learned that I was going to have the opportunity to learn more about The Pretty Peacock and their products with a review of one of their pieces!

I was sent the "Love you to the Moon" pendant with Kaelyn and Kaden's names on it.

After seeing it on The Pretty Peacock website, I knew it would be beautiful and couldn't wait to see it in person. When it arrived, my first impression was how nicely it was packaged (Kaelyn was excited to see it and started opening the corner as you can see :)). I love it when companies take the time to put their personal touch on things. Isn't this cute?!

When I opened up the box I was in awe....it was even more beautiful than it is online! I love the wording on the first disk. 'Love You To The Moon' is a saying that couldn't be more perfect for a mother's piece. It reflects a love for our children that will remain forever, and how special to have it on a piece of jewelry that will last for years to come.

This pendant charm contains a 1" thick, sterling silver disk where Kaden and Kaelyn's names have been carefully hand stamped along the curve. It can hold approximately 28 characters, so even if you had more children, or longer names...it would still work very well. The the next piece of this set is a 3/4" copper disk that is hand stamped with the words 'Love You To The Moon'. I really think the copper looks great with the silver. It makes each part of this pendant stand out so nicely. On top of the disks is a delicate, sterling silver moon and star charm. It is large enough to add a nice touch to this piece, but shaped just perfectly to allow the heart on the disk to show through.

I didn't know what to expect when it came to the chain, but it's very nice! As with the pendant, it's good quality and attractive. I love that it's adjustable...this allows for it to drop just perfectly with whatever I'm wearing.

I am extremely happy with the 'Love You To The Moon' Pendant. It's quality lets me know that it is something I will wear for a very long time! I love having such a unique piece that means so much. It's absolutely gorgeous and is one I can wear with pretty much anything. I have received several compliments on it in the times I've worn it already.

The Pretty Peacock offers an amazing selection of jewelry, perfect for gift giving this Mother's Day or a special piece for yourself.



I think their Portals Sweetheart Glass Locket Bracelet looks beautiful and is one I'd love to have at some point too!

This piece allows moms to wear the birthstones of their little ones close to your heart and is versatile enough to wear with almost anything. The listed price includes two lab created round gemstones but can house up to 10!! Additional gemstones can be added for $5 each.

Buy It: You can purchase the "Love You To The Moon" Pendant for $74 and the Portals Sweetheart Glass Locket Bracelet for $48. If you're planning to order something for Mother's Day be sure to do it soon, as their ordering deadline is April 16th.
