Since I first met her, my coworker wears this beautiful gold necklace displaying her name. It hung gracefully on her neck and the font was an elegant, golden cursive. So of course, I (and all my other female coworkers) had to ask her – where did you get that necklace???

And so I discovered namefully.com, a jewelry store that creates gorgeous personalized jewelry with letters and names. They have a selection of beautiful fonts to pick from, designs, colors, options and even different colors of stones. I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with them and review one of their items.

I asked for a silver necklace with my name and my birth stone – emerald. It was really easy to personalize it as their ordering form allows you to select all sorts of options – the type of necklace, font, silver/gold, birth stone, size, and more!

Two weeks later, the package was in my mailbox – a simple, but attractively-packaged necklace. I was excited to see the sleek cursive font of the “Carrie” necklace and the emerald dotting the ‘i’ of my name. I wore it proudly that day – enjoying both the attention it got me as well as the extra tough of elegance it added to my outfit.

This necklace is so lite, that I hardly remembered I had it on. It didn’t bother while I slept and it’s honestly the most comfortable necklace I have ever worn.

My overall review: loved it! I will be wearing it plenty – especially to parties where I don’t know anyone. No need for me to introduce myself – they will all know my name without asking!

“ORIGINAL JEWELLERY AND ACCESSORIES BY ERYN LEEDALE-MERWART”

I love unique, chic and feminine jewelry so I’m very excited to present you to my new find: Take to the Sky.  Based in Canada, this handmade jewelry store is truly one-of-a-kind and offers such beautiful, high quality items.

I was thrilled to be given not just the opportunity to review her products, but also to host a giveaway so one of you lucky followers can win one of their beautiful necklaces!

I received this stunning Illuminara Series Necklace from Take to the Sky to review.  It retails for $200 and I can definitely see why.  It’s a uniquely designed piece of jewelry and every bit of the necklace is flawless!  It’s made of sterling silver, crystal beads and Swarovski crystals. I love the way it hangs from the front and places a slight, but sexy emphasis on my cleavage – great for a fancy night out. Alternatively, to change the look it can also be worn the other way around, with the crystals hanging down the back. Super sexy! I can’t wait for the opportunity to wear this out.


SO gorgeous

Take to the Sky has a great variety of unique jewelry, including matching bracelets and earrings for the Illuminara Series Necklaces.  Plus, if your big wedding day is coming up, they have some great options that will compliment your white dress and great gifts for your bridesmaids or flower girls.
*Beautiful*

Simple, but elegant – the perfect accessory for the bride

Eryn offers different sets of jewelry and you can find them in different colors and styles.  She uses the best possible materials from around the world: semi-precious and precious gemstones, handmade, Japanese beads, silver from Bali, and platinum.  Her jewelry is really high quality as well as one-of-a-kind.

And I just love her philosophy:

The core of my philosophy is simple: My art is about improving one’s sense of self. A sparkly necklace or bracelet can change the way a person feels about herself and how she presents herself to the world. Each and every piece I make is created in the hopes that the wearer will feel beautiful and empowered.


I love the fun, chic look of this set

Overall, I love Take to the Sky’s collection.  Eryn has succeeded in creating a contemporary, unique style of jewelry and I’m so proud to wear the necklace she sent me.

And soon one of you lucky followers will be as well

Practice, practice, practice and entering hundreds (maybe even thousands) of giveaways has taught me how best to enter giveaways quickly and efficiently while at the same time genuinely looking at the products, websites, etc.
Each person has a system that works for them.  Personally, I use Texter to keep most organized.  Read more about the program here. (This article coming soon)
So here are some things I learned: 
  1. Be organized! Have one page or tab open where you can see a list of giveaways (either your RSS reader, my website, etc.). When you want to enter a giveaway, open it in a new tab or window.  That way you won’t have to press “Back” in order to enter more giveaways.
  2. Most likely, you’ll have to post at least your name and e-mail address in your entry.  So prepare that signature before you start entering giveaways. It’s a shame to write it again each time when you can easily copy and paste! Mine looks like this:
    Ronit
    internationalgiveaways[at]gmail[dot]com
    http://internationalgiveaways.blogspot.com
  3. Whether you use Texter or notepad or some other form of autofiller, you can already set-up the typical entry comments for easy copy/pasting like so:
    I am a blog follower through Google Friend Connect!
    youremail[at]gmail.comor..I follow you on Twitter!
    @yourtwittername
    youremail[at]gmail[dot]com
  4. READ the entry directions BEFORE you start posting.  You might miss the mandatory entry and then all your entries go straight to the trash.  Can you get extra points for tweeting? Following? Do any available additional options BEFORE you start posting any entries.  Believe me, it will be a lot quicker to post comment after comment then to tweet, then comment, then follow, then comment, etc.
  5. Do you get more than one entry for doing something in particular? (Like blogging about the giveaway usually gives you more than one entry) Don’t waste your time re-writing the whole comment over and over again… just copy/paste! I do suggest that you number the comments like so – Entry 1, Entry 2, etc.  That way you can keep track of how many comments you posted for that particular action.
More suggestions? Please feel free to comment on this post in order to add them!
If you have further questions, please feel free to write me an e-mail to internationalgiveaways[at]gmail[dot]com or fill out the form here.
