Abella Galleries: Turquoise Beaded Jewelry Review & Giveaway!

Saturday, May 30, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom

Spicing up your wardrobe is really easy to do with the right jewelry and accessories. For instance, I tend to dress in monochromatic colors so one of the things that I do to add life to my outfits is to wear colorful jewelry. I recently discovered an amazing online boutique, called Abella Galleries that sells gorgeous, custom designed jewelry that will add color and vibrancy to your wardrobe!

About Abella Galleries (from the website):

Officially launched online in December 2008, Abella Galleries now features Elizabeth's vibrant turquoise and white stone jewelry designs. In the coming months, Abella Galleries hopes to add unique, colored freshwater pearl jewelry designs by Elizabeth as well as the sterling silver jewelry designs of a skilled silversmith based out of Nashville, Tennessee, and the elegant bridal jewelry designs of an artist living in Jacksonville, Florida.



Abella Galleries sent me the Blue Meadow Oval 33 inch turquoise beaded necklace to review and it is truly stunning! It is made from dyed howlite green turquoise beads and has a sterling silver toggle clasp and fittings. Turquoise is actually one of my favorite stones because it adds so much personality and life to every outfit- so let's just say that this necklace had me at hello. The Blue Meadow Oval necklace is also very versatile-pair it with a casual skirt, jeans, or capris for a casual look or wear it with a black dress and heels for a night on the town. Since the necklace is long, you can double it up and wear it as a choker or even wrap it around you wrist as a bracelet. Personally, I like to wear the necklace long for a look that I can only describe as simple elegance. The Blue Meadow Oval is really a necklace that most women-no matter their style-will love! At $40 for the 33 inch and $25 for the 18 inch, it is also very affordable!



Abella Galleries jewelry is not just pretty to look at-these are quality pieces that you can be proud to own and wear. Abella Galleries individually inspects each necklace and provides a satisfaction guarantee ensuring a high level of quality. Their beaded jewelry is composed of real stone beads, sterling silver fittings, and stainless steel nylon-coated wire. Abella Galleries also provides free gift wrap and a customized gift note when requested in the Notes box on the Abella Galleries checkout page!

This contest is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Jessilyn82! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to contact me.
