Stella & Dot

Until recently, I had heard of Stella & Dot jewelry before, but hadn’t took a good glimpse into the company and the products. Yet when I did, I was literally blown away. Stella & Dot was founded by a mother of two, Jessica Herrin. She also co-founded weddingchannel.com! For an outlet to her creative side, she created Stella & Dot {can we say busy?}, and now independent consultants {stylists} everywhere are making their mark in fashion and in the business world.

I was approached by a Stella & Dot stylist named Sandra, for a review and giveaway on My Organized Chaos. I had briefly seen a couple of products, which were featured in Instyle and People magazine…oh, a *little* TV show called Oprah. Yet Sandra enabled me to take a close look at the jewelry found at Stella & Dot, and I am so impressed! I must have wandered the website dozens of times lately, I think I may be addicted.

For review, Sandra sent me a couple of pieces from Stella & Dot. One is the Kristen Charm Necklace which comes with 3 delicate and lovely charms. One is a pink enamel flower accented with a ladybug of faux diamonds and a pearl {very darling!}. Another charm is described as a white enamel flower {yet to me it has a soft buttery color to it}, accented with a tiny daisy flower. The third charm is a sparkly pave ball. The included sterling silver brass chain {14″} has a lobster clasp with 2″ extender. Overall, I adore this set. For one low price, you get 3 necklaces in one. And, I cannot choose a favorite since it all depends on my mood and my attire. If you love this set, there is also a matching Kristin ring and bracelet as well. This makes it easy for gift giving, if you know of one piece that the recipient loves.

The other item I received for review is the Clover Key Necklace, a stunning and classic looking piece which is also a best seller at Stella & Dot. Though gorgeous, this one is edgier with it’s blackened chain with black and white CZs. This is definitely my style and matches most of my clothing and taste. Not only do these necklaces withstand the tests of twin toddlers’ little hands – they also cut no corners when it comes to durability, comfort and design. For instance, the backs of all the pendants I received have a smooth and finished surface, when others usually have a rough and hollowed backing. To me, this says a lot about quality ad design!

The prices are very reasonable, especially when I see how well-made the jewelry actually is. As an added bonus, the items come in such beautiful packaging. The chic box for my Clover Key Necklace and the round tin that my Kristin Necklace came in are awesome. Not only do I feel like I got a very special jewelry – just think of the impression it would make on Christmas morning!I am really eyeing the Little Girl Collection, my daughter would probably love one of everything there, especially the Fiona Ring!

Sandra is passionate about being a Stella & Dot Consultant, both in a business aspect and a trust for the products. If you have any questions about the product or becoming a stylist yourself – make sure to ask Sandra!
