Part of our Spring Fashion and Beauty Feature

If there is one thing I have been splurging on lately, it's jewelry. Why? Simple. I walked into one of my favorite retail stores a few weeks ago for a little shopping spree, and was outraged that they were selling a sequined tank top for almost $200.00! Ouch! I want to look fresh and on trend this spring and summer, but I just can't afford to spend top dollar on something I may only wear for a season.

What's a fashion-forward girl to do? It's Just Jewelry, and MBP friend Maria Himes to the rescue! Maria is a consultant with Just Jewelry, and I am proud to call her my jeweler! Maria has also just joined MBP as a Spotlight Sponsor, and she'll be bringing us and you beautiful pieces of jewelry each month! Welcome aboard, Maria!

 When Maria contacted me about reviewing some new pieces of jewelry from the spring catalog, I was reminded that I can freshen my wardrobe with a few pieces of new jewelry, and I'll feel as if I had gone out and purchased several new outfits for the spring and summer seasons!

Maria is a busy mom, and she is devoted to her family, business and her customers. Just Jewelry is a newer Direct Sales company, and I am so glad that they are around! There are other Direct Sales companies, which primarily feature jewelry, but some of them are so expensive! Just Jewelry brings you quality high fashion jewelry, at just the right price! I can purchase an entire set of jewelry from Just Jewelry for the amount I may spend on one new piece somewhere else! Maria very graciously offered me any three pieces of jewelry I'd like from the spring catalog for my review. The spring catalog is gorgeous, and I had a lot of fun looking through it. Each page was filled with beautiful silvers, golds, and lots of vivid colors, popping up everywhere! I must have looked through the Just Jewelry catalog at least four times, before reaching my decision.

I selected a beautiful necklace, a pair of earrings (with a little guidance from Maria), and the popular Faith, Hope and Love bracelet. Even though it took a little longer than Maria initially thought it for for the jewelry order to arrive, I was impressed by how speedy the delivery actually was! I didn't feel like I was waiting around for it for days on end! Each piece of jewelry was individually packaged in its own box, and I could not wait to pop those lids off and take a peek at my new jewelry!


 Me, trying to show you my beautiful new necklace...


Here's a closer look- I love it!

I received the Dainty Necklace, which I absolutely love! It is a beautiful gathering of stones and embellishments on a single silver chain, which is adjustable. The collection features a turquoise stone, a crystal stone, and a small rhinestone-studded silver bead. I have enjoyed wearing this necklace so much! It's not too long- I have the ability to control the length I'd like to wear it at. I have worn this necklace with solids and stripes- whites, blacks, pinks and blues. It wears really well, too! It's very light, the rhinestone-studded bead catches the light, and the entire necklace catches everyone's attention! Balian is intrigued by the embellishments, but mostly leaves mommy's necklace alone, which is wonderful for mommy! This is one of the first necklaces I have received since I stopped wearing them after becoming a new mom, and I just love it! I wore it on a retreat, just this past weekend, and a lot of the ladies were asking me about it.

 Beautiful earrings...

Me, modeling my new earrings...

To accompany the necklace, I also received a beautiful pair of turquoise and silver half hooped post earrings. They feature a crackle effect through out the turquoise, which is really very pretty, and extremely classy-looking. I love the way I look in these earrings! I can't wait to riffle through my dress collection and match one to these earrings. When worn with the necklace, they make the perfect pair! Sophistication and elegance, as well as stylish and trendy, all wrapped into one! The only downside to the earrings (and this is just me, here) is that they are a little heavy for my ears. Nothing I can't get used to, though! I love the earrings too much not to wear them! They are so gorgeous! I'm not used to wearing earring that heavy or that large, but I am up for the challenge!

The Get Nutty Initiative from Just Jewelry- previous and current bracelets...

 Humanity Bracelet by Just Jewelry...

I also chose to review the Faith, Hope and Love Bracelet, which is very special, because the proceeds from this lovely set of bracelets goes to 'Get Nutty,' providing meals for starving children around the world. The Faith, Hope, Love Bracelet was an absolute 'no brainer' to review. No one wants to see our children in this world go hungry, and when companies offer special products, which benefit others in such a wonderful way, I can't help but feel God in those places- in those moments of opportunity for me to make a difference. Just by me purchasing one of these bracelets, a child will receive two meal treatments, that they might not have had, otherwise. The bracelets are really beautiful. It's actually a set of bracelets- mixed silver and gold with embellishments, and three of them feature (one each), a little stamped embellishment, each one saying either 'faith,' 'hope,' or 'love.' They look beautiful when worn together, or you can choose to just wear three or four of them at a time- or even just one of them. However you choose to wear them, they'll look wonderful. They also go with just about everything. You can dress up a casual outfit, simply by wearing these bracelets. This particular bracelet has recently been discontinued by Just Jewelry, but replaced by the Humanity Bracelet, which is absolutely beautiful! The commitment remains the same- proceeds from the sales of these bracelets go to Edesia, which provides two treatments to malnourished children across the globe. The Humanity Bracelet is available for just $15.00.

There are so many beautiful pieces of jewelry to choose from in the Just Jewelry spring catalog! Seriously- there's something for every style and budget. Flowers and turquoise seem to big trending right now, as well as bracelets. I've never been a big bracelet wearer, but the more I've been wearing them, the more I've been liking them! I love how they subtly add some pizazz to my outfits!
