Charm Factory Review & Giveaway - Back To School Blog Bash - CLOSED - WINNER!


Thank you all for entering! I do appreciate your time. 

The winner is Jaime! Congratulations! I'll be sending you an email.








*******
My wrist candy is here and it's beautiful! It's simple and it fits and it represents my birth month of May. 

My mother would be so happy that I just said May as my birth month. Before I knew and met my mother, I was told that my birthday was in January, so I identified with garnet. Then my mother showed me my rightful birth certificate (long story) and what do you know? I'm born in May on the very same day as my son! 

This is why I made the choice to choose the Emerald bracelet with crystal hearts from Charm Factory. At first I wanted to have a personalized bracelet with sign language charms saying 'I love you', but those were out of stock. I'm fascinated by sign language and I am presently teaching my kids the alphabet in sign!

The Emerald Bracelet with Crystal Hearts is beautiful and matches my personality. Although I love all things red, I also love green because it represents nature in all it's fullness, especially in springtime. I love being outside in nature, rolling around in the grass , watching things grow, planting  etc.

The Emerald Bracelet with Crystal Hearts
The magnificent, royal emerald is the traditional birthstone for May. It is also the birthstone for the zodiac signs of Taurus and Cancer. These five rich emerald Swarovski heart charms, sparkling and shimmering from our sterling silver Emerald Bracelet with Crystal Hearts instantly focus the entire room's attention on the wearer of this beautiful piece of jewelry.

Some people believe that wearing an Emerald brings wisdom, growth, and patience. And as any couple in a long-term relationship would agree, all of these qualities are essential for a successful and lasting love. 
 
I first heard of the Charm Factory somewhere in the blog community and have been charmed ever since. They have such a wide variety of charms that if you think about it, they might just have it. And you can get yours personalized by choosing whatever charms you desire and what you want it to go with, a necklace, bracelet, locket, etc., the choice is yours. Of course you can also select something already made. 
I was very glad to see that their charms are all lead free and made in the USA. Rarely do I find anything made here in our great USA. 

Our charms and beads are .925 sterling silver and manufactured in the United States, all lead and nickel free. Our pewter charms are also nickel and lead free. Charm Factory products do not contain cadmium. The jump rings attached to pewter charms do contain a small amount of nickel. (A few imports that we do not make here, like enamel charms and some chains, are noted in product details.) 
Choose from over 4000 styles for you or any girl or woman in your family. 
It's almost that time again for school to begin, so check out their high school initial charms
And if you are graduating , they also have the perfect graduation charms to wear or give as a gift to a graduate. 
Twilight movie/series are all the rage these days, so why not get a charm to emulate your favorite star! The Twilight Inspired Charms are there for the taking ;)
Football anyone :) GEAUX SAINTS! 
I love my Emerald Bracelet with Crystal Hearts and when I look at it, I can see me passing it on to my daughter. As soon as her darling little wrists can hold the bracelet. Oh so many things I want to share with her. 
One of you will win your choice of one of these finished charm bracelets! Whoo!
