Who wouldn’t like a kiss that lasts forever? This Valentine’s Day your sweetheart can give you one heck of a kiss — a lovely Hershey’s Kiss bracelet that is!

This gorgeous bracelet is part of the Hershey’s Kiss jewelry line which was introduced at the JCK Las Vegas show just this past June. The Hershey’s Kiss line, which includes bracelets, pendants and earrings, is fast becoming a symbol of love and a replacement for tired, traditional heart motifs.  

The bracelet is crafted in sterling silver with Rhodium plating for extra shine and includes a 7.5 inch Rolo link chain with a toggle closure, also plated in Rhodium. The Kiss itself measures 10mm by height and 9mm at the base. Just the right size for my wrist and at only $99.99, just right for the wallet, too!

In addition to trendy sterling, there are also Hershey’s products in gold, gold and diamond, and silver and diamond. And a little birdie told me that soon to arrive in the Hershey’s family of products are even more affordable options like silver with Cubic Zirconia and base metal jewelry items. These variations ensure that there are Hershey products to satisfy every consumer!

The Hershey’s Kiss bracelet is available online at Overstock, Anything Goes, Days Jewelers, Diamonds International, Ephraim Doumato, Gary Jewelers, Generous Gems, Jewelbasket, Kranich’s Fine Jewelers, Neves, Jewelers, and Zales.

XOXOXO

Pearls are treasures from nature, and jewelry designer Wendy Mahr takes full advantage of their luminous beauty in her contemporary pearl pieces. From stunning necklaces and bracelets, to chandelier earrings, to modern, chunky rings, her designs are sure to be a big hit this Christmas!

A Miami native, Wendy is a self-taught jewelry designer and has spent the last eight years putting her training and experience to use, growing her own business. Wendy’s designs are sold in fine boutiques and exclusive galleries across the country, which is why I was so pleasantly surprised to find that her designs are not only beautiful, they are also extremely affordable!

Her trademark silver wire and stone rings start at only $55 for a single pearl and run up to $120 for an amazing ring embellished with an extra large crystal. Earrings are even more affordable, with a simple pearl dangle – perfect for every occasion – setting you back a mere $28. More complex chandelier earrings are slightly more expensive at $72 for the most intricate designs.

My favorite pieces, however, are the chunky bracelets and necklaces, which are right on trend for the holiday season. The chunky pearl bracelet, shown, is $85 and the lovely freshwater pearl necklace is only $210. (Both are on my personal Wish List!)

One of the best things about Wendy Mahr’s jewelry, though, is that these are not mass-produced (the kind of thing that I call “mall jewelry”). Designs each retain a little bit of the personality of the designer and the natural materials she utilizes make each piece unique. And the word is spreading! Wendy’s Mahr Jewelry has been featured in Family Circle Magazine, Glamour Magazine’s blog, The Miami Herald and more.

In additional to beautiful freshwater pearls in a rainbow of hues, other pieces contain crystal quartz, colorful amethyst and Chalcedony, faceted glass, coral and even shell. Wendy’s complete line of jewelry is also available online at Wendy Mahr Jewelry.
