{ birth designs } + giveaway

If you haven't realized already - I really am obsessed with hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry! I love it. And, I'm thinking that there are more of you out there that love it too?! Birth Designs is FULL of beautiful hand-stamped jewelry designs. One of my favorite things about their selection is that they have some pretty cool fonts! 10 to be exact - and 6 of them have been exclusively designed for Birth Designs, so you can only find them here!! I am so impressed with Bonnie's designs - I can tell that she puts a lot of thought into each piece and that she does not compromise quality at all!! Here are some of my FAVORITES!!

Family Sign Post Pendant

Demi Bracelet


I Wear Your (Actual) Handprint ...personalized on back as well

Sterling Silver Keyring


And, with Father's Day quickly approaching - I think now's the perfect time to make a purchase from Birth Designs! Also, wouldn't something from this shop make the PERFECT graduation gift too?

Okay - I'm so excited about this...Bonnie as generously offered to giveaway one of her Personalized, Hand-finished Solid Sterling Silver Guitar Picks! (valued at $45) ...completely customized for the winner!

"This is the coolest present - a hand-finished, thick, quality solid sterling silver guitar pick. Offered in all of our fonts, and all of our finishes (shiny, brushed, and hammered/antiqued). It is completely functional, and was developed with a musician friend of mine for optimal play quality - great for slides."

Now would this make an awesome Father's Day gift or what?!

  142. I just loved the La Tua Cantante (Twilight) ...singer necklace because my better half sings and plays guitar in a band and he wrote a special song which he sings just for me and La Tua Cantante means
    La means "the"
    Tua means "to you" or "your"
    Cantante means "Singer"
    It literally it means the one who sings to you, or the one who sings "your song"
    I have never seen anything like it and it's just perfect for me.
    I also really liked the
    Carried to Heaven on Angel's Wings (Personalized) - Custom Sterling Loss Necklace. What a special piece~!
    The personalized guitar pick is something that fits him perfectly because music is his life and he just loves to sing and play guitar and has his own band. I would love to win this for him for Father's Day. Thanks for sharing this wonderful review & giveaway~!
