Sterling Silver Earrings & Bracelet



I received the Silver Masters 925 Sterling Silver Link Bracelet through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Thin
  • Lightweight
  • 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper
The bracelet is thinner and smaller than I had expected it to be. 

The bracelet is cute, and the detail on the center ball is nice. 

The bracelet is fragile though. The thin chain isn't something one would want to wear around young children or babies. 

The bracelet is fairly small in size. I have a slightly smaller than average wrist for an adult, and I still have to have the clasp in the middle to make it a comfortable fit.  If I want the bracelet to have room to move, I have to have the clasp near the end. 

Pros:
- Cute in appearance
- Detailed center ball 
- Lightweight

Cons:
- Fragile
- Small bracelet 
- Not all that noticeable

I received the 925 Sterling Silver Stud Earrings through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Lightweight
  • 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper
  • Small details on earrings 
These earrings are adorable, yet smaller than I expected them to be. The images make the silver or metal portion of the earrings look slightly thicker. 

The thinness of the earrings backs make them easily bendable and fragile, especially when one sleeps in the earrings or if the backs are difficult to put on. If pushed too hard, the backs could break off. For the price, I would expect something made with a better quality. 

The earrings have some detail to them and are very shiny. They catch light well. 

The backs of the earring fit on tightly. Usually, I have a problem with earring backs being too loose. 

Thankfully, I haven't had a problem with these earrings turning my skin green, like other cheaply made ones have in the past. I shower and sleep in the earrings and haven't had an issue yet. 

Note: I do not have to wear earrings made for sensitive skin. 

Pros:
- Appearance

Cons:
- Thin back is easily breakable or bendable
- Smaller than expected 
- Cheaply made

Andean Planet Bracelet



I received the Azurite & Silver Toggle Bracelet "Andean Planet" through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Made with .925 sterling silver and azurite 
  • Toggle clasp 
  • 7.25" long bracelet 
  • Made in Peru 
The first thing I noticed about the andean planet bracelet when it came was that it came with a little booklet about "every treasure has a story..." I expected that booklet to be about the artist and the bracelet, but it talked about a Lace Sweetheart, bathed in gold, and a necklace. It had nothing to do with the bracelet, which disappointed me. Made me wonder if that's even the artist who worked on or designed the style of the bracelet.

The bracelet of itself is very pretty. I love the color of the beads and the detail of their painting. The sterling silver is very shiny and reflects the colors the beads are next to.

The bracelet does pinch skin at times or grabs arm hair.

The bracelet is small. It's 7.25" long with very little stretch. The lack of stretch makes me worried that it'll snap when putting the bracelet on or off. I have a small wrist. The bracelet fits on my wrist okay, yet it doesn't have the ability to move much. If the bracelet does move down my arm a bit, it leaves indents and marks from the bracelet. It's not entirely comfortable.

The clasp of the bracelet is a pain. I usually like toggle clasp, but the bracelet doesn't have enough length or stretch to get the bracelet on easily. It took several attempts to just get flat end of the toggle clasp through the loop. Trying to get the bracelet is just as difficult.




Pros:
- Beautiful Beads

Cons:
- Short bracelet 
- Toggle Clasp is difficult to get on and off
- Pinches skin / Pulls hair

Crown Eternity Ring



I received the Cubic Zirconia Crown Eternity Ring through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Plating: Silvertone Finish
My main concern with the crown ring was that it would hurt or poke the skin. The spikes or tips on the crown made me wonder how it would actually feel once I put it on. 

I was surprised and pleased to find that I really don't feel the tips at all. The tips are far enough down on my finger that I don't get poked by them when I bend my finger, type, or just move around. 

The ring has a nice shine to it and is very pretty. I love the amount of detail with it. 

The ring material can have a chemical reaction with moisture on skin. It can cause the skin to turn green and the ring to tarnish. To prevent this, simply applying 1 or 2 thin layers of clear nail polish (top or base coat) to the inside of the ring keeps the metal from touching your skin. After awhile the layer will wear off and need to be reapplied. 

Pros:
- Lots of detail
- Nice shine
- Pretty design
- Fit true to size

Cons:
- Can turn finger green from reaction to moisture.

Harry Potter Keyring & Bracelet Set



I received the Harry Potter Keyring and Bracelet Set through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Metal: Alloy
  • Clasp: Easy hook
When I first got the bracelet and keyring set, they looked somewhat sturdy. The keyring looked like it would last longer than the bracelet. In a way, I was right when assuming that.

When I first tried to put the bracelet on, the clasp came off the bracelet. Thankfully, I could get it to look back in where it was suppose to go and close the little ring shut with a pliers. It hadn't been fully closed when I got it. The bracelet works fine now and looks great.

The keyring had lasted for about a month. The clasp made it easy to put onto a set of keys. 

Today, though, I accidentally dropped my keys when I was trying to unlock my front door. The keys fell to the porch and the harry pottery key ring fell off it's clasp. The clasp is still attached to my key set. 

This keyring and bracelet set isn't the best quality, but they are fun while they lasted.
