Becoming Jewelry Review and Giveaway



As you all already know by now I love jewelry, but I love personalized jewelry even more than I do other everyday type jewelry! I have many unique and different pieces of jewelry but I only have a couple pieces of jewelry that is personalized and they are the pieces that mean the most to me. Recently while looking for a unique personalized piece with “Bug’s” name on it I found Becoming Jewelry and I was immediately intrigued and just loved every piece of jewelry on their website, so naturally when Tracey agreed to let me review a necklace and offer a giveaway I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to find the perfect necklace with my little man’s name on it.

About Becoming Jewelry (taken from website):

I love simple jewelry, nothing too frilly or fussy for me :) This is the design sensibility I bring to my work. I especially love creating personalized pieces that will be meaningful to my customers and will be a reminder of the good things in life. I make each piece of jewelry with my own two hands in my home studio in middle Tennessee.

Welcome to Becoming Jewelry!
~Tracey


My Thoughts:

I was given the opportunity to choose my favorite necklace from Becoming Jewelry’s beautiful selection (which was a hard choice) to review and I finally decided to go with the My Whole Heart Personalized Name Sterling Silver Mother’s Necklace and could not be happier with the way it turned out! After letting Tracey knowing my selection and all the information she would need to create my one of a kind personalized necklace, it didn’t take much time at all for it to me created and sitting on my doorstep!

Upon opening the package and actually seeing my necklace for the first time I was left breathless, this necklace is simple yet so beautiful and being it is the only personalized piece of jewelry I own with my son’s name on it just makes it that much more special. I can tell you that this is one piece I will never part with! I have worn this necklace daily and very rarely ever take it off my neck, even in Chemistry lab when we aren’t allowed to wear jewelry I tuck this little gem under my top and wear it anyway (hope my teacher isn’t reading this LOL)!

I have received so many compliments on this one single piece of jewelry that it’s not uncommon anymore for a mother on campus to see it and ask me where they could get one with there little one’s names on it. And I’m very happy to tell them Becoming Jewelry and give them the link to the website! As much as I’ve worn this necklace I can honestly say I love it and have absolutely no complaints what so ever about the quality or any other aspect of the entire process to order.

Bottom Line:
I absolutely love my necklace and I will not be leaving the house with out it around my neck, it makes it super easy for me to keep “Bug” close to my heart even when we aren’t together! I’m also thrilled at the price on these necklaces they are very affordable and so totally worth the money! I’ve got two really close friends that are expecting and already have a little one each and I’m thinking for the in-hospital baby gift about getting each of them one of the New! My Whole Heart necklaces with their little ones and the new addition (once I find out their names)! I know that both of them would be so thrilled to have one.

If you are looking for a unique piece of jewelry to add to your collection or maybe that perfect gift for someone special I highly recommend checking out the collections at Becoming Jewelry because I’m positive that you will find something that you will fall in love with!

  163. Hi Stephanie!

    If I were lucky enough to win this 'Becoming Jewelry' $50 gift card, I would definitely purchase the 'loved, hammered sterling' necklace from the 'personalized necklaces' section of becomingjewlry.com!! I'd have my name and my fiance's name engraved on each circular charm! :)
