When it comes to fads I have to say I have fallen for most of them, especially when it comes to jewellery. I’ve got a full and a half full Pandora bracelet, I also have a Love Links one. I love them all, not because they were ‘all the rage’ but because I’ve never bought a single charm for myself. When people struggle to find a gift to buy me for a special occasion, I love that they can pick me something that then has a special meaning for me about them. When Lily Charmed asked if they could send me a piece to review on my blog I had a quick look on their website and found they do a similar gift choosing type process, amongst other pretty items. Pick a necklace, pick your charms, add a message.
I asked Lily Charmed to send me something they thought would fit me and my blog, I love surprises and this pretty white box wrapped in ribbon did not disappoint.
The necklace inside was laced through a piece of card to hold it in place with the very apt message ‘bee happy’. The bee has many meanings for my personally and when I finally get over the fear I’m totally having it tattooed on me somewhere! It is the symbol of Manchester – the city I have lived in all my life and the amazing place that has welcomed me with open arms on many occasion. It is also the symbol of hard work and determination yet with a sweet side. I’ve tried my hardest most of my life to get where I am today both in my private and professional life. And I always try to do it in a caring and thoughtful way. I am also ALWAYS busy… a busy bee. Obviously the ‘K’ is my initial which makes this personal to me.
You can customise your necklace even further choosing the length of chain that suits you and even the finish of your charm. Mine is polished but you can also choose matte satin. Silver and white gold are my choice of metal for all jewellery but this necklace is also available in gold.
Whilst this necklace is perfect for all the Mancunian ladies out there you will also find some new pieces that are starting to arrive for the Christmas period including a gorgeous new range of birthstones and larger jewellery which can be engraved for that perfect intimate message.
For me? Well I adore my little bee and I may need to put this little cupcake bracelet on my Christmas list this year, it’s too close to my blog name not to!
The bee necklace costs £32 with an extra £10 per letter charm and can be ordered through the Lily Charmed website. Why not treat the Manc lady in your life?
