Near the Willows Review & Giveaway





I love natural stone jewelry. Not only is it an amazing expression of nature that is beautiful to look at, the stones themselves also hold an unexplainable power. The magic of stones is something that people have harnessed for centuries. Wearing the stones as jewelry or amulets is the perfect way to keep the magic of the stones close at hand. If that jewelry happens to be stylish and trendy, that is just a bonus.  At the Near the Willows, you can find beautiful and exotic natural stone jewelry that you can use to express your own personal style while enhancing the attributes that you may need to work on.





For my review, I received a beautiful and unique necklace that was designed just for me. It is made with freshwater pearls and sesame jasper all delicately strung together to create a necklace that is just as much a piece of art as it is a fashion accessory.  It is accentuated by  glass beads and an intricate silver tone clasp. The lovely color scheme will work at any season and go with almost any outfit. It has an easy to open clasp, and it is the perfect length to display at the neckline. This necklace is  a wonderful way to stay stylish and harness the powers of nature all in one convenient package.




 The necklace I received is only one example of the beautiful pieces you can find at Near the Willows. They provide a wide variety of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that offer just the right variety of color  and design for each individual.  No matter what your favorite stones or styles may be, you can find just the right piece of jewelry at Near the Willows. Prices are reasonable and shipping is quick. So check them out today and feel the difference a little piece of nature can make in your life.



One very lucky winner is going to receive a beautiful necklace just like the one I receive. To enter this giveaway, please visit Near the Willows and tell me another item you would love to have.
