Jewelry Art Designs: Cool Pick for Mom and Daughter

Posted by · Leave a Comment

While Cool Baby Kid is all about finding cool picks for parents and kids, cool sometimes translates to expensive. For us the coolest picks aren’t necessarily the ones found in magazine buying guides.  CZ has it’s place for those not interested in spending a bundle on jewelry; I’ve been sporting Sterling Silver Round Cut Stud Earrings from Jewelry Art Designs for most occasions lately ranging from the grocery store to Sushi night with the girls.   An independently owned jewelry shop interested in keeping upwith the latest celebrity trends and reflecting the latest and greatest in their designs, they carry sterling silver with precious and semiprecious gemstones at affordable prices.

Jewelry Art Designs, or LuShae Jewerly according to the website title, offers free international shipping and “no hassle” exchange in addition to a wide variety of rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets. In addition to the earrings we choose, a few other cool picks include the White Gold Cinderella Promise Ring, Evening Drop earrings for dressier occasions, and PinkHearts Children’s Bracelet for the little ones. We also like their buying guides and how to clean jewelry articles which can be helpful for someone like me who rarely takes time to make her jewelry shine.

Templeton Silver: Heirloom Bijou Bracelet {Giveaway}

Posted by · 4 Comments

For the person who is searching for a baptism gift for a special baby in your life the Mother of Pearl Cross Bijou bracelet from Templeton Silver is a wonderful choice. The pacifier holder combines smooth, silver beads with five mother of pearl crosses making it a beautiful addition to my daughter’s Christening gown. She was able to have her pacifier attached to her, readily available to soothe when needed, but without the clashing pink and purple ribbon of her usual holder. The crosses are available in both natural and white and the Bijou bracelet itself comes in a variety of styles including bunnies, airplanes and the star of David making it appropriate for both boys and girls and as a baby gift for all kinds of occasions. The best part though; is that when my daughter is no longer using a pacifier we can simply attach the two clasps together giving her a beautiful keepsake bracelet. I love that years from now she will be able to wear this bracelet and have a reminder of her babyhood while others will be unaware of the bracelet’s previous use. There is a warning along with the bracelet to be careful when clasping it to delicate clothes such as sweaters but we had no trouble finding a spot on the dress to clip it to. In addition to the pacifier holders, visitors to the Templeton Silver website can also find gorgeous silver teether, rattles, cups and baby jewelry.

Pearl Paradise: Pearl Jewelry Set for Kids {Giveaway}

Posted by · Leave a Comment

Sometimes, I’m good. While more often than not the laundry piles up and “I can’t do it all!” can be heard multiple times each week, every once in a while I’m on the ball. This year I have preparing for Christmas in the bag. My daughter’s dress was purchased last season and Christmas cards are ready to mail. So I’ve spent time recently on the details, and today’s pick is one of those finds. Pearl Paradise actually has a Freshwater Pearls Set for kids which will compliment and refine any holiday outfit, whether the little lady is four or fourteen. Starting with a 5.5 inch bracelet and 17 inch necklace, they are the smallest I’ve found to fit my petite daughter. Their pearl sets, pearl necklaces or pearl earrings and more arrive with an appraisal, gift box and care kit which also packages nicely for the perfect gift.


Created by former flight attendant Jeremy Shepard who purchased a set of pearls while abroad for his girlfriend for Christmas, Pearl Paradise began as a way to offer an expensive product, freshwater pearls, at an inexpensive price. When his girlfriends had the $20 pearls appraised at $600, Mr. Shepard knew he was on to something, and we are the beneficiary with the kids’ set purchase price at just $55 though valued much, much higher. Pearl Paradise is a gem, or should I say pearl, of a find.

Extra Entries: Follow Pearl Paradise on Twitter for an additional entry, and find out how to earn even more entries and read the contest rules and disclaimer including how to subscribe for winner notification. Ends12/11/09. Open to all.

Lily Me Charm Jewelry: French Couture {Giveaway}

Posted by · 5 Comments

Visiting Paris a few years ago, my impression was instant envy for the women who seemed to effortlessly look chic. I vowed to wear scarves and never again venture outside in sweats. So when an opportunity to review Lily Me, a French charm jewelry shop whose Parisian-born creator decided to bring chic to her new home in New England, I was thrilled. Lily Me’s personalized charm bracelets and charm necklaces are delicate charms on chords of various colors are for moms and daughters alike. On plated gold or sterling silver, charms can be personalized with names, initials or special messages. Of course Lily Me bracelets and necklaces would make perfect Christmas gifts or baby shower gifts, but looking ahead they will definitely be included in our Mother’s Day gift guide as well. And since my toddler daughter is petite, that the bracelets are adjustable means no wrist is too small. Unlike scarves, you don’t have to be taught how to wear Lily Me jewelry either.


Thank you to LilyMe for sending Cool Baby Kid this beautiful bracelet and to Momblebee for introducing us to this great brand.

Cool Giveaway: Enter to win a Lily Me charm bracelet, winner’s choice of style and chord color (limit one charm) by visiting their site and commenting back here with your favorite design.

Charm Factory Review & Giveaway, Valued up to $100!

Posted by · Leave a Comment

For Christmas this year Santa is finally bringing our daughter a charm bracelet. Though I’ve wanted since she’s born to start a charm collection, like the unfinished baby book, it just hasn’t happened until now. I love the idea of a gift we can add to at every occasion that will grow with her. Having researched (of course) various sites, I choose Charm Factory since they offer free shipping over $25 and their products are lead free and made in the USA. They have various types of bracelets including toggle, cuff and others and just about every possible charm theme you can imagine. The baby shoes with birthstone, gymnastics, and big sister charms were just a few we choose for starters and plan to add for every Christmas and birthday another charm which represents a particular stage in her life. Likely the 3D cupcake charm will remain on her sterling silver charm bracelet for some time to come. Adults can get in on the action…check out the adorable new “I Love to Blog” charm especially for master bloggers! The order arrived quickly as solidifying our choice of Charm Factory as the place to go for this special, life-long gift for our daughter.

Blue Sky Rocket’s Trees + ABC’s Educational Prints: The Perfect Compliment to Your Child’s Room {+ Giveaway}

Posted by · Leave a Comment

When I received the Blue Sky Rocket trio of prints, the first thing that impressed me was the quality and workmanship of the drawings. The second thing that impressed me was just how darn cute they are for any nursery or young child’s room. This trio of prints is called “Trees + ABC’s” and shows all of the letters of the alphabet with a cute drawing for each letter. Pefect for those learning ABC’s! It is cute enough to be used as artwork alone but I have a feeling those ABC’s will be coming more quickly at my house. Visit BlueSkyRocket.com for more information and examples of the many products they have such as an entire Mommy & Me section as well as cool Snack Time gadgets and a Bestsellers section making it super easy to shop. It is a great company with an interesting start-up story. I would recommend this to anyone looking for the right little something to brighten up the walls of any boys or girls room or playroom.

These prints come in standard frame sizes for easy framing. They also offer gift certificates making a perfect gift for new baby.
