Why not get a jump start on the spring with some of these colorful pieces of jewelry?  If nothing else, the color will give you a little bright fun during an otherwise snowy or rainy day.

Saw this knobbed necklace holder on Pinterest and noticed the seller has a whole shop of doing these – you can design your own or pick one she has for sale.

Love it, right?  I’m thinking of getting one – just have to figure out a wall to put this on.  All of my necklaces always get tangled up in my jewelry box so this would definitely help that.

Get this Knobbed Necklace Holder or design your own on Etsy for $35.

Share your story with a charming selection of sterling silver beads and charms from Bellabeads 925.  This direct sales company works like a Tastefully Simple company – consultants rep the brand and you can buy directly from the sales consultants.

Love the concept though – I’ve been to many of these kinds of parties but this one is neat: the rep brings all the beads and you can design and take home your bracelet that night.  What a fun Girls Night Out!  And the beads are beautiful – select from glass beads, pearls and crystals and sterling silver beads to make just the charm bracelet to represent who you are.  You can visit Bellabeads 925 to make your own piece, or to find out more info about becoming a consultant or hosting a party.

When I received my Custom Charm Necklace, I was flabbergasted! My work of art consisted of a beautiful rectangular shaped charm with my son’s name on it, an oval shaped charm with my daughter’s name on it and their birth dates inscribed on the back of each piece which was so special to me. I love how the edges on each of the charms have a groove around them.  Also attached to the necklace was a Gemstone Drop to represent my husbands birthstone and Peace and Heart Symbol Charms to represent what I love. I literally have worn it a dozen times and have yet to not receive a compliment on the days that I’ve worn it. It is truly so meaningful to me and I love wearing it close to my heart. I will treasure it forever. The quality of each charm is superior (made from 100% Recycled Silver) and is sturdy and unique.

Take a look at creating a Custom Charm Necklace for yourself or someone you love. Start by selecting a sterling chain in any length and then add as many charms as you like. Charms and Gems can be added, removed and rearranged. They can be added all at once or over time. This is fabulous if you want to create a different look every time you wear your piece or if you add a new addition to your family! You can create your own meaningful, personalized jewelry by adding a name, word, initial or date to be imprinted on the front and the back can be personalized as well. Symbol, Birthstone and Mini Tag charms can be added, as well as precious and semi-precious Gemstone Drops to add color & sparkle. They also create other unique pieces as well: Women’s Stacking Rivet Rings, Men’s Rivet Rings, Men’s Custom Necklaces, “Be the Change” Charm Necklace (25% of the sale price will be donated to America’s Promise Alliance Organization) and Autism Awareness “Solve the Puzzle” Necklace (25% of the sale price will be donated to Autism Awareness Charities). Whichever piece you choose, it will arrive in their pretty custom gift box made from environmentally friendly sources and packaged with eco-friendly materials.

Heart & Stone’s handmade Custom Charm Necklaces offer endless possibilities. Make it your own by creating a personalized, meaningful piece that you or someone you love will treasure forever; something you’ll want to wear everyday; something you can add to over time. Hint to your husband for the holidays or create one for him!  This is the one gift you both will cherish for a lifetime.

This is totally the case with Dillon Rogers jewelry. The pieces are classic, clean and beautifully chic. Small details like tiny crystals on a necklace or a semi precious stone bead that dangles from a leather cuff, stand out and set the pieces apart from imitations. It’s easy to see why they are a celebrity favorite and frequently featured in magazines.

My favorite pieces from the collection are the personalized leather bracelets and silver stamped charm necklaces. I love the inspirational wraparound bracelets as well but the personalized ones are more meaningful to me, and a strange source of strength. On a recent flight (I don’t fly well) I swear I was comforted by the circle of my children’s names around my wrist. It gave me courage, and calmed me.

If you are considering a personalized jewelry gift for yourself or others, I highly recommend these. You’ll enjoy creating your gift and making it even more personal on the Dillon Rogers site which gives you hundreds of ways to combine your choice of fonts, colors, and designs. Your piece will be one of a kind, and cherished forever.

Until I got this ring I had not heard of Troll Beads and Pandora beads. If you are like me, are just getting up to speed on this bead collection trend, I’ll give you the shorthand. These are collectible murano glass beads with a silver shaft. No two are alike and they are endlessly fascinating in their unique gorgeousness. Addictive too. You get one, you will want more.

Whimsy rings were made to accommodate these beautiful glass beads, like a crown accommodates a jewel. They are simple but clever in design, allowing you to open the ring up and switch out the bead. No worries about it matching – you can make that ring work with any look that you have a bead for.  The chosen bead is not only dazzling on your finger, it’s also fun to play with. Perfect for fidgeters like me, I like to spin the bead like a roller blade wheel. My toddler thinks this is great sport as well.

One more reason to love Whimsy rings – they are made entirely with reclaimed silver and gold, and made to accomodate glass gems. This  eco friendly practice that saves the earth from brutal and unnecessary mining for finite resources. They are true artisan jewelry, made with love and respect. And thus I deem them a healthy obsession!
