I was able to design my own personalized pearl bracelet with charm and locket(retail: around $60) in minutes (it took a bit longer since I have a hard time deciding on anything).  I chose a pearl bracelet with a heart locket (which sometimes falls open) engraved with KH (my girl’s initials), and a K with pearl attached.  I decided to make it as much neutral, not favoring either girl more and decided to use only their similar initials.  I want both of my daughters know that I love them equally.

It took a relatively short amount of time for the bracelet to be shipped and arrive at my home.  The quality of the bracelet is very good, however as I mentioned above the locket occasionally comes open, and it thrills me to no end that I finally has something in dedication to my little ladies.

Custom Couture Jewelry Collection – A new custom accessory! Gift givers first choose a bracelet or necklace in one of five designs, including a pearl or beaded chain. Then they add one of three engravable pendants and finish the accessory with a miniature, sparkling birthstone pendant, initial pendant with pearl accent, and/or one of six miniature charms, including a star, angel, cross, heart, butterfly or key.

I love the idea of this as a present you can build for someone else. I mean how often to we get the same old thing from our husbands (or have to buy it ourselves)?  This would be a fantastic alternative.  How nice would it be to get a gift of jewelry that your spouse and children designed especially for you? Oh my gosh! I would melt! And what a great chance for your husband to spend some quality time with the kids teaching them how to show their mother some appreciation!

The Custom Jewelry would also make a great gift for your mother!  Imagine your mom’s face when she opens the box to find a personalized gift you created just for her.  I actually love this as a gift for any special lady in your life!  Right now you can get a free Keepsake box with your purchase of select items!

Full Disclosure: Things Remembered generously allowed me to create and personalize my own bracelet for this review.  I was given the chance to do this review by Global Influence (formally Momfluence).

Priced very affordably, the white stone and turquoise jewelry could easily become a staple of any one’s wardrobe. Elizabeth sent me her 18 in. Blue Meadow Turquoise Necklace to try out and I love it! I wear it almost everyday, it looks good with blue jeans and my little black dress; priced at just $25.00 for the 18 inch collar necklace I’ll be buying one for each of my sister’s birthdays.

Short History of Abella Galleries

In May 2007, while traveling in China and studying Chinese language, Elizabeth fell in love with the beauty of Turquoise stones and decided to start her own online jewelery store. While researching and meeting with many different Turquoise manufacturers, Elizabeth decided to feature not only her work, “but also the creative works of other artists who might not have the time or resources to develop their own online gallery.”

Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, Abella Galleries officially launched their online gallery in December 2008.  Abella Galleries has a fresh water pearls collection on the way in upcoming months and has just released some preview pictures on AbellaGalleries.com.

In the coming months Abella Galleries will be home to the works of a “skilled silversmith” and a beautiful bridal jewelry selection. To show their gratitude to their customers, Abella Galleries offers free gift wrapping and a personalized gift note, as well as, free shipping on purchases over $100.  In an effort to be environmentally conscious, Abella Galleries ships your jewelery to you in used or recycled cardboard boxes stuffed with shredded used fashion magazines.
