simply beautiful jewels: my personalised necklace

It is no secret that I love jewellery.
I wear it every single day.

Today I am stepping out of my comfort zone and sharing one of my new 'simply beautiful' blog posts. I decided to call it simply beautiful as I like to look beautiful every day and I also like to keep it simple. I wanted to share some of the jewellery I wear and hopefully give you some ideas as well. I love jewellery as it helps me to feel happier and I love accessorising my outfits. 

One item of jewellery I have always wanted to own is a personalised necklace. Something special to represent our family. The chances of me ever having some spare cash to get one made up for me has been very slim lately. So I decided to improvise and am delighted with the results.


I created my own personalised necklace when I found these charms on sale in Diva for $2 each. I grabbed one to represent each member of our family. I then added them to a necklace I already owned and I loved that it has the same look at the charms. Perfect match.


I can now wear each family member close to my heart. Total cost being $18. I am happy with that bargain personalised necklace. As far as wearing it goes, it does not sit flat against my chest but hangs more in a bunch. I love the look of it and I love to wear it with stripes or even sitting nicely underneath a shirt. It is also a fun necklace as when I am wearing it my cherubs come up to find which letter they are and get excited that 'they' are hanging around my neck. It really does become a personal necklace.


Wearing the actual necklace. I think I need to smile more next time!
  
By the way: I am very, very excited to be a Mix Apparel Blogger.

  1. I had one of those jewel baby necklaces but all the arms and legs fell off.

    This is much more personal, stylish and classic

  5. I love personalised necklaces. I have two. Both were gifts. One is a ring with our four children's names on it. The second one is a circle with our initials on it. I love it. Our friend calls us the Alphabet family because our children's names are: K, L, M, N.

    Yes. It was on purpose!

    Beautiful Naomi. And even better that you sought it out and got yourself a bargain! xx
