Stella & Dot Jewelry- Review and $50 GC Giveaway! Ended 10/11 Per Sponsor

on September 20, 2010

I don't typically review jewelry on my site. Companies sometimes contact me at times to offer a review, but I have very particular taste when it comes to jewelry, and usually don't find what is offered that appealing to me. I like beautiful, simple styles that are elegant, and while everyone's taste is different, I find this to be the most important qualifications of jewelry that would be timeless and widely admired, not to mention accentuate most women and wardrobes.

Stella & Dot offers simply beautiful jewelry. The styles are trendy, yet simple and classic enough that I actually want to wear them. Despite being very affordable, their jewelry has graced the necks and wrists of many celebrities who are known themselves as style icons. Some of my favorite Stella & Dot styles include these earrings:

and their charms (many other styles are also available, and are very pretty and delicate):

I had the opportunity to try a piece of jewelery from Stella & Dot's collection, and chose a gold pearl strand from the La Coco Concept collection. This rosary style piece features glass pearls and a single sparkling pave ball, and has two lobster clasp closures to it can be worn alone or attached to other pieces from the collection for a multi-layered look (as shown in the first photo above). I wore it to a wedding recently, and alone it was a lovely enough piece to complete my simple look:

The La Coco Concept gold pearl strand is only $39, and it can go with anything. It can be worn to an evening function, and also worn for a lunch date. It's so versatile! It can even be doubled to become a choker, or tripled to become a multi-layered bracelet. The La Coco Concept collection features other necklaces that can be attached, mixed and matched, or taken apart to be worn individually.

Stella & Dot jewelry would make a great gift for the holidays for a friend, a mom, or even yourself (a treat!). Some of the pieces on their site would also make great Thank You gifts for a wedding party. All your girls can match for the big day, and then have the beautiful bracelet or set of earrings you chose to wear afterwards whenever they like.
