Custom Initial Necklace + Gemma Gray Giveaway!

July 15, 2015

Gemvara customized necklace

I’m always looking for new, unique pieces of jewelry to add to my accessory collection. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets have always been a way for me to change the look of my outfit, or the pieces that add meaning or value to what I’m wearing. From necklaces my grandmother gave me, to a statement necklaces I’ve found in flea markets and thrift stores, having jewelry that expresses who I am is so important to me.

Gemvara necklace

Gemma Gray is a new line of custom, fine jewelry that offers high quality without the high price tag. I was lucky enough to go through the whole custom jewelry experience. On their site, you can choose from beautifully designed necklaces, earrings and bracelets or start to create your own. As a writer, I love to tell stories, and that’s exactly what I want to do with the pieces I own!

Gemma Gray offers more than just custom pieces, they offer unmatched customer service – with your customer delivery arriving within seven days – and a 101-day return policy. They followed up with a phone call to make sure what I ordered was everything I wanted and more! Normally if a company calls me after I’ve purchased something, it’s to sell me more product, so I was very impressed with this type of customer service.

Now back to the actual jewelry – Gemma Gray has trend-focused designs and 20 gemstones to choose form when creating a customized piece. You can also choose from 14K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold and sterling silver. I’m not always the best at making decisions, so you can imagine how difficult it was for me to choose between all these options.

My Custom Necklace

I decided on the Initial Double Gem Disc Necklace, a simple, yet uniquely gorgeous necklace. I have always loved the look of mixed metals, so I went with a sterling silver for the chain and 14K yellow gold for the initial disc. I also chose to go with white sapphires – they are stunning and will go well with any outfit I choose to wear. The gemstones are genuine, never plated and never fake, so no matter what gemstone I would have decided on, it would have been a stunning piece.

My excitement was escalated when I opened my Gemma Gray package. I’m a sucker for beautiful packaging and Gemma Gray does an amazing job. You get your piece in a jewelry box, and also get an envelope with a bag to store your jewelry and a certificate of authenticity. For me, this piece is uniquely me. I love how I will be able to keep this piece forever and tell a story – how I used to mark my name on everything I owned (hence my initial), how I can’t resist some good sparkle (going with two gemstones) and how mixing metals gives a unique look (and I love being as unique as possible).

And now it’s your turn to design your own custom piece and tell a story! Gemma Gray is generously giving away a $200 gift card! Just follow the instructions below to enter.

GIVEAWAY – HOW TO ENTER:

  • Visit Gemma Gray and sign up for their emails
  • Browse their site and comment below on which piece caught your eye – and tell me why!

A random winner will be selected on July 22, 2015 by 8 a.m. And for everyone else, click this link to automatically get 20% off your purchase! Good luck!

You can keep up with Gemma Gray by following them on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram!

Thank you Gemma Gray for sponsoring this post & giveaway.

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ love you with all I am 💕💕💕#valentinesday2020 #myhusband #myvalentine
