It's time to say "Pamper Me, Please!"
I met Elle several months ago online and she helped me to get more connected through Networked Blogs and gave me some great advice for improving other parts of my blog. Well, as I continued to converse with Elle and visit her blog, Take Two Reviews, I found that she and her (twin) sister opened an online shop with some really cute items. Elle was very gracious to let me review this beautiful heart charm red beaded necklace from her shop.
I received my necklace in a precious little box with 2 butterfly stickers on it and wrapped in a bow. Inside was this gorgeous necklace! I chose this particular piece of jewelry because I love hearts and the color red. I thought it would go well with what I like to wear. Now that my hair is cut short you can see my neck more and I want to show it off. This necklace is 17 inches long and has10 large red beads and silver tubing in between. In the middle is a silver heart with little red jewels that sparkle. The clasp is a circle and rod that really enhances this unique design. I really like how this lays on my neck. It is just the right length and dresses up my outfits with just a little bit more elegance.
Let's Get to Know Greta and Elle a little bit more:
*Where did you come up with the name of your shop?
The name of our shop is Handmade Creations by Greta & Elle. Greta & Elle are just nicknames for our longer, real names - Margaret & Michelle. We do business under our real names, but our website shop is just titled this. Having our real names on the banner isn't as pretty ;)
*How long have you been making your products?
We've just started making jewelry this year and we caught on pretty quickly. Both of us like to read up on how to create new designs and use new materials. It's a learning process, but we hope to only improve! We have experience with other crafts which we have been doing for several years, but this is our first year working on jewelry pieces.
*What do you like best about what you do?
I personally love the fact that its really fun and relaxing. Also, knowing that someone is going to wear whatever we make or use something we've created is inspiration enough for me to work hard on it and make it the best that I can. I love when I get feedback about something we've made. It just spurs me on to make my next piece even better.
*What is unique about your shop?
There are lots of people selling jewelry and other similar items. You can buy jewelry like ours at most stores. However, we customize our pieces upon request and we put some special touches where we can. We send our jewelry in gift boxes too. If you want the letters of your name on one of our necklaces or bracelets, we can do that. If you have an allergy, we can customize that too, when possible. We try to keep the cost down too. As we are making the pieces, we inspect it - every stone, jewel, and charm. We try our best to make the customer happy with the purchase they have made. We also sell other items like craft boxes and stained glass creations!
