The Vintage Pearl

Jewelry
770 Comments

When Erin offered to make me one of her silver, hand-stamped necklaces, I was
all over it.  Who in her right mind would say no!?  What I didn't
realize at the time was how much I would love my necklace — and wear
it all the time.

I
have a soft spot for funky jewelry.  But, as it turns out, there are
plenty of days where I'm not up to the funky stuff.  And it is
sweet-sweet to joggle the charms on my necklace and think of my two
kids.

Wouldn't these make great Valentine's Day gifts?  I know that each of
my brothers has received a loud hint from his wife for a Vintage Pearl
necklace.

So check this out — when I told Erin I planned to post
about my necklace, she offered to set up a 10% discount for anyone
who wants a necklace too (enter Bailey10 at checkout) — AND a giveaway of two $50 gift certificates to her store, TheVintagePearl.com.  There are a lot of jewelry styles to choose from.

Holy guacamole. (I'm kinda jealous. Which is so very wrong, as my necklace was a present after all.)

Leave a comment to enter — and drop a 'hello' at Erin's blog as well.  Winners will be drawn on Thursday, the 28th.

  33. is everyone eligible for this drawing?! 🙂
    i would love one with my husband’s serial number on it; it’s a lot safer and more discrete than something that says “POLICE WIFE” on it.

    I’ve been looking at her necklaces forever, but haven’t been able to buy one for myself..thanks for the opportunity!

  36. So, so beautiful. I am tempted to keep a necklace for myself, but think I would actually use it for a good friend who recently welcomed her second son.
    Thanks for linking to her blog. I had not discovered it yet, and will be adding it to my rss reader.

  376. I’ve been wearing the same necklace for 10 years now. I’ve had four kids since and it really is time for something new. I’d LOVE one just like you have – with the pretty pearl.

    Reply

  378. Isn’ that awesome! I’ve been coveting the goodies over at the Vintage Pearl for a loooooooooooooong time. LOL! Mostly because I can’t afford that kind of thing myself. But all of her stuff is so cute and beautiful and really very cool! *sigh* A necklace like one of those would be so fun to have with my grandkids’ names on it!

  390. i love these necklaces so much! i wanted to buy one for myself, but alas a shortage of funds at this time does not allow. it would put a great smile on my face to win such a fabulous prize! 🙂

    Reply

  405. Hmmm…it is so not good to have yet another thing for me to covet, but who would not want one (or more…how to choose?) of these beautiful works of art? Heather, thank you for leading me to ‘The Vintage Pearl’ site. [Just a thought ladies, but the layered mother of pearl necklace would be a great grandmother gift because you could put her childrens’ names in the inner most circle and grandchildrens’ names in the larger outer circle (or reverse, depending on the number of children/grandchildren).

  409. I have been checking these out for weeks and need to start dropping hints to my hubby! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway, I’d love to have my two daughters clinking around my neck!

  465. this is perfect for my plain jane style 🙂 w/ my little girls name on it- i agree perfect for valentines day or upcoming mothers day too!

    Reply

  470. Oh I think I’m in love. I’m a plain jane sort, wearing only my wedding ring and some simple earrings. I never wear necklaces even though I have a fine collection of them. I just find them to be too fussy for every day wear. These however, were destined to change my mind. Great for day to day, with the added bonus of being about my kids!

    Reply

  486. I love the necklace she made you! I want that one, but as I only have one child, it seems silly to get it right now. I might settle for a different one for the time being, and then upgrade later!

I have been signed off work with anxiety and slight depression for 4 months and blogs have really helped me feel less isolated when my lovely husband is at work. Today i have made your paper globes for a friends baby dedication and i tried ( and failed) at making bitty booties for the new baby downstairs, will try again tomorrow. Sorry this is so long, i just wanted to say a big thank you for a beautiful blog and all your much appreciated hard work. Gillian x

  677. I am in love with this necklace! I’m not much of a jewelry wearer. 95% of the time it’s just wedding rind and a simple pair of earrings. I have a small collection of what I consider fussy necklaces, but with a toddler and a preschooler, I long since gave up wearing those for day to day. This however, screams out to me as perfect to go with my little monsters without looking out of place when I’m dressed down in sweats and tees. 🙂
