Hot Mama Designs Custom Jewelry Review

I was excited when offered a chance to review a handmade sterling silver and fourteen karat gold personalized necklace from the small studio in Boulder, Colorado Hot Mama Designs. This is a great jewelry company that offers customized and personalized options. I got a personalized piece with my 3 sons names and birthdates.

This was an especially exciting product to sample because I just had our third son.  It was exciting to give myself this birthing gift and to recognize the love that I have for my three children.

The jewelry is sharp, stunning, and solid and the customized look and personalized touch is awesome!

About Hot Mama Designs

Hot Mama Designs Jewelry is a small jewelry studio in Boulder, Colorado owned by Shannon Sunderland and Sahra AlSamarraie. We make custom heirloom jewelry that is personalized with names, initials, words, and anything else your customers can dream up.

As artists we are intrigued by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which is (loosely translated) the beauty of things that are unpretentious and unconventional. In our mass-produced world our jewelry celebrates the one-of-a-kind feeling of the handmade object.

All pieces are 100 percent sterling silver and 14 karat gold. We use real semi-precious and precious stones in our designs and everything is made by hand in our Boulder, Colorado studio. We are metalsmiths, and all of our work has the highest attention to detail. Every piece goes through a rigorous five-part process, which includes stamping letters onto the metal one-by-one, soldering, adding patina, setting stones with special hand tools and adding a lustrous brushed finish.

Shannon started making the Hot Mama Designs jewelry line in 2003 around the time she gave birth to her first son. She started giving the work as gifts to other “new mama” girlfriends. Nearly every woman who received a piece of jewelry with their new baby’s name on it would cry, and she realized that this line of work is something really amazing. When Sahra serendipitously moved in next door to Shannon in 2008 they both recognized their similar passions for jewelry design and business and have worked happily together ever since. This feeling of connectedness, of celebrating mothers and families, is what Sahra and Shannon love about their work.

LifeVerse Bracelet Giveaway

I’m going to play favorites and tell you that LifeVerse Bracelets are absolutely my favorite! First you can tell they are made with love and are of high quality. My bracelet is gorgeous! I was going to give my review bracelet to my wonderful mom, but I just can’t part with it, so I’m going to buy her one(shh,don’t tell!) You select what charms and words that you want. What I love about the bracelet too, is the reminder of the three words I selected, Hope, Pray and Trust. If I am feeling upset or bothered, it helps to look down at those words to remind myself that God’s love covers me. I like how Christine describes her jewelry on her website below. It says it perfectly.

A Single Life Verse inspired our collection of Christian Jewelry. To solve a memory problem, we created beautiful sterling silver bracelets with our life verses. We wanted to remember our special scripture verses, but wanted the flexibility to select our own scripture life verse, bracelet colors and silver charms. The personalization of LifeVerse Jewelry became an essential component of our popularity. Another essential component of this Christian jewelry was quality and style at an affordable price. We met with a focus group of Christian women, consisting of affluent women, Christian speakers, Christian authors, wives of professional football players, wives of local physicians, mothers raising children with awareness causes, Christian school teachers, and women in Bible Study groups. A survey of these women verified that they would not wear WWJD jewelry, silicone awareness bracelets, and mall-store jewelry. These women desired Christian jewelry that looks good with all fashion styles and has the flexibility to be unique by personalization. We agreed with our focus group and many of our Christian Jewelry designs were inspired by these special women.(from website)

LifeVerse Jewelry would be a special gift for any occasion. They also have Awareness Bracelets for Autism and Breast Cancer, Charm Bracelets, and much more. The prices are very affordable for the quality. They use high quality materials such as .925 sterling silver and Swarovski® brand crystals for lasting quality and beauty. Each bracelet is uniquely made and comes in a beautiful jewelry box with a Bible verse. They are available at www.lifeversejewelry.com. They are currently offering a sale of $10.00 off with a free charm and free shipping in the U.S. with each order.

PeaceLoveEarth Bracelet Giveaway

Isn’t this bracelet adorable!  PeaceLoveEarth is an Eco Jewelry line that has created the Seven Wishes Bracelet. It is not only stylish, it was created and meant to be worn for a purpose. How can a bracelet have a purpose? The creators, Anna Mkhitarian and Daniel Leighton have this statement on their website about the purpose of their bracelets. “The Seven Wishes Bracelet benefits the person who wears it, the environment and people around the world through organizations focused on creating positive change. And, of course, everyone whose life is a little better or has a little more hope creates a ripple effect of positive change throughout the world.”

What else I love is how you wear the bracelet. Here is how it works, “you tie seven knots in the string of the bracelet each representing a resolution, intention, affirmation, prayer, -goal or wish. As you tie the knots, you write down what each knot represents. This way you can go back and read them and even memorize what each knot stands for. You wear it until it falls off on its own. Until it falls off, you have a constant reminder of all the things you are working toward every time you look at the knots. It also comes in handy when negative thoughts or habits come up and when you want that extra boost. When it does fall off, tradition says that your wishes will manifest and you are ready for your next phase in positive growth.” People have been wearing the bracelets for setting personal resolutions, as well as in wedding ceremonies, team sports, and business building among coworkers. Kids love them as well. “They are a great way to teach children about setting and attaining their goals,” Mkhitarian says.

For its newest bracelet, PeaceLoveEarth has partnered with CARE International, a non-profit organization founded in 1945, that helps women in poverty around the world. The special edition CARE bracelet, features a hand charm with a heart in the center and the word “CARE” on the back. The charm symbolizes the importance woman’s work around the world, and the love that each individual can give. 25% of the $30 retail price goes to CARE. Other Seven Wishes charms include a peace sign, a heart, the earth and a flower. Double charms are also available, like “World Peace” which features an earth charm and peace charm. Each comes in a peace sealed recycled paper box. Made locally in Los Angeles California. PeaceLoveEarth jewelry has been featured on The View, The Style Network, ABC Chicago, NBC LA, The LA Times, Miami Herald, Marie Claire and many other media outlets. It is available for purchase on the PeaceLoveEarth.com Web site and in various boutiques around the US.

MY REVIEW

I have written down my prayers for the knots in my bracelet and every time I look at it I think of those prayers and honestly it is a wonderful reminder and peaceful feeling. I don’t want it to fall off though. LOL. I think the bracelets would be a terrific gift for anyone. They are a bit pricey, but I believe you get what you pay for and from what I see, they are worth it. The bracelet is well made and stylish. The charms are made from Sterling Silver and you can choose the color of the string. The charms to choose from are Peace, Love, Earth, World Peace, and more. They are handmade and come in an adorable sealed box. They also make absolutely beautiful necklaces with the same charms. You can combine several of the charms into one necklace. You can purchase on the PeaceLoveEarth.com Web site and in various boutiques around the US.
