Holiday Gift Guide - Earring Exchange Review & Giveaway





There are a lot of jewelry shops out there. With so many choices, it might be hard to decide where to shop  this holiday season. I always prefer to shop with small companies, like the little shops on Etsy. The prices are better, the quality is undeniable, and the pieces are unique. One quaint little shop that I have come across in my travels is the Earring Exchange. If you are looking for earrings that are truly a one of a kind work of art, than this is the shop for you.



For my review, I choose the Blue Moon Earrings. As a daughter of the moon, these earrings have a special significance to me. The full moon is a time filled with magic and power. A blue moon (which is the second full moon in one month) is an even more powerful day that occurs only once every few years. To me, these earrings are not just a beautiful work of art, but a reminder of this very special day. The sterling earrings are very sturdy and well made. They are versatile, so they perfect for both a casual outing or a night out of the town.



This is only one example of dozens of lovely earrings you can find at the Earring Exchange. Many of her pieces are made with lovely natural stones. All of them are handcrafted with delicate precision. She even includes a free jewelry cleaning cloth with her orders. In addition to the Earring Exchange, you should also check out the owners other two wonderful Etsy shops--Bead Party and Little Frog Creations-- for even more great gift ideas.




And now for the giveaway. One lucky winner will be able to choose one pair of earrings that should arrive just in time for the holidays. To enter, please visit the Earring Exchange, and let me know which pair you would pick if you were the lucky winner.
