Hello and happy June 1st! Finally Summer time, and what better way to kick off the first proper Summer month than with some awesome tropical jewelry?
Today's blog post is a review of some amazing tropical inspired jewelry I received last week. I got an email all the way from GREECE asking me if I'd be interested in doing a review. So I opened the link provided in the email, and I knew it was love at first sight.
I was once in Belfast Botanical Garden back in Northern Ireland, and I saw a plumeria tree for the first time. I said to my Dad; "when I get married, I want a bouquet made of plumerias".
With that little memory said, let's get on with this and you'll understand why I fell in love with...
KIRA DON JEWEL!
I got to choose some items I particularly loved and I also got some surprise items as well. Let's start with that I custom ordered!
This is my pink and yellow plumeria keychain. I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I love that it's big and bright. Driving my car from now on will be like being on a tropical island. Maybe I'm taking it a bit too far, but I think it's so beautiful and Summery. It's the perfect for my car keys, since I don't want it to get dirty or ruined by being shoved into my school bag or gym bag all the time. This is my favorite item of them all!
My next favorite item is this amazing ring. It's another plumeria, this time purple and yellow. It's adjustable so it'll fit everyone, and just look at how pretty the ring itself is. Not a boring simple band, it's all swirly and pretty. The flower is of course also beautiful, and it's a great statement piece for the Summer. I work in a flower shop, and it's perfect for me as well. I almost wore it to work the other day, but my task for the day was to water all the outdoor plants (it took me 4hrs!) so dipping my hands and this ring in a bucket of dirty water for 4 hours wouldn't be the best idea. I think I'll save it for a sunny day when I'm not getting my hands dirty.
I also got a super cool necklace which is a bit more rock'n'roll, but still Summery and girly. It's a skull and plumeria diamond necklace. It's quite large and definitely not for the girls who want to blend in the crowd! I think it's really cute and again, perfect for Summer!
What I also love about this necklace that it has a nice back piece as well, so if it's a warm day and you have your hair up, you'll have a pretty neck as well! I love it when t-shirts etc have print on the back, and of course, a necklace with stuff in the back as well is a major plus in my book.
The very last item I received was two sets of ear rings. As you may know, I have stretched ear lobes and it took me forever to realise that I still would wear dangly ear rings. So if you have stretched ears like me, this is one way to wear "normal" ear rings. If you have regular pierced ears, then it's no problem!
This is the red plumerias with a little Muerta skull playing it's maracas (so cute!). Even the little rubber back piece is cute, it's actually a little flower, instead of those dull round ones you usually get. Another plus!
Here's the black plumeria ear ring. As you can see it's a different kind of ear ring, but it still works great with my stretched ears. This one is a bit smaller and neutral, so you don't have to go all tropical beach party on your look to pull off these plumeria ear rings.
I absolutely love these items, and I hope you do too!
You can find Kira don Jewel on Facebook and on Etsy. She makes all of her items by hand, and the plumerias are made out of Fimo clay. She's a really cool lady, and she also makes custom items if you had anything particular in mind when it comes to colors etc. I think this is one of the best things ever, that the people behind these small businesses are willing to do custom things. That way you'll get something unique! A big plus to Kira don Jewel for being amazing and sending me these beautiful items, but also for making me a custom key chain.
She's located in Athens, Greece, and she's hoping to expand her business so other shops around Europe and Greece will sell her items as well. I'd say we help her out by visiting her page and maybe you'll find something you really love?
So... with my "I want a plumeria wedding bouquet" story in mind, do you understand why I completely LOVE Kira don Jewel? Plumerias everywhere!
I want to say thank you so much to Kira don Jewel for working with me, and I recommend all you lovely readers to pop over to her Facebook or Etsy shop and see if you find something you love. Her Etsy is still quite new, so take a look over at Facebook first, there's more pictures etc there a the moment. You'll also find her email address if you want to order.
I hear rumours about a set of leopard print plumeria ear rings......
As always
