Electric Frenchie is a cool online boutique featuring fun, creative clothing and jewelry from some awesome designers. In a recent post, I talked about my newfound love of statement necklaces, and The Morning After Turquoise Necklace by Gay Isber definitely makes a statement.
This beautifully chaotic necklace is a combination of large turquoise pieces and blue glass beads stung along bright silver chains. It is definitely a unique, eye-catching piece.
The very talented designer, Gay Isber, has several other stand-out pieces for sale at the Electric Frenchie Boutique. Two of my favorites are:
Juicy Swarovski Crystal Gold Charm Necklace
$69.00
Glam Grape Drop Necklace
$59.50

Poshlocket is an online jewelry store featuring trendy fashion jewelry for affordable prices. They offer a wide variety of styles from modern and edgy to feminine and elegant.
Review
Lately, I have been finding the value in owning statement necklaces. This special accessory stands out and has the ability to transform an outfit, quite an accomplishment for a piece of jewelry.
As I was browsing through the Poshlocket online store, the Flo necklace caught my eye. This dazzling v shaped gold necklace is gorgeous, and I love it’s glitz. Even through I don’t live in Vegas anymore (the center of all things flashy), I thought this would be the perfect piece to spice up my wardrobe.
The gold works as a neutral, so I found that I was able to easily incorporate this necklace into many different ensembles. It looks just as good paired with a casual outfit as a more formal one.
Overall, I enjoy the Flo necklace. It is one of Poshocket’s more expensive pieces ($49) but, as I said, it is versatile and will get plenty of use.

Berricle began with the goal to create the most customer friendly online jewelry store. They specialize in high quality silver and cubic zirconia jewelry.
More and more lately, I have been loving sterling silver/CZ jewelry. It can look very similar, and in some cases identical, to the more expensive white gold/diamond combinations. The price ,however, is so much more affordable. Berricle has a huge selection of gorgeous pieces, almost all of which are under $100.
Review
In honor of the upcoming winter season, I was given the Snowflake Necklace for review. The necklace arrived in a black, velvet jewelry box.
I love all the CZ diamonds which accent this beautiful snowflake design. There are 20 princess cut stones weighing a total of 1.8 carat plus 24 round, cubic zirconia stones weighing a combined .36 carat. These gorgeous CZ’s are perfect for a snowflake motif; they remind me of sparkling new snow.
I also like the size of the pendant. It is large enough to be visible, yet not overwhelming. Measurement: 1.5 inches long by 1.25 inches wide.
The Snowflake Necklace comes with a chain. It is the basic type of silver chain that often accompanies pendants. It is thin, but looks good and does it’s job.
Purchase/Win
Purchase – Visit the Snowflake Necklace page and make a purchase. For complete jewelry collections, please visit Berricle.com and also check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
Win – Berricle is generously offering one Let’s Win reader this beautiful Snowflake Pendate Necklace. This giveaway is open worldwide!

Review
I was sent the Sterling Silver Swirl ring and matching earrings.
I love the design of the Swirl ring. In my opinion, it looks better in person then online. When I saw the ring firsthand, it was bright, shinning and looked like an abstract flower. It reminded me of the ribbon flowers I made when I was younger.
The swirl ring is made from .925 Sterling Sliver and is fairly lightweight. The diameter measures approximately .75 in. It is available in sizes 5-9 (whole sizes only).
Price: $29.95
The matching stud earrings are adorable as well. They are light and comfortable to wear.
The earrings are also .925 Sterling Silver and measure .5 in.
Price: $24.95
Purchase/Win
Purchase – You can buy the Swirl ring and earrings from Meme Jewels online store.
Win – Two lucky Let’s Win! readers will receive the Sterling Silver Swirl Ring. Please visit the Meme Jewels giveaway post to enter.

Ettika offers fun jewelry inspired by the laid back yet glamorous lifestyle of Los Angeles. They sell necklaces, earrings, and a large selection of bracelets that can be wrapped and stacked.
Review
I received two bracelets for review: the Gold Braided Vintage Fuschia Ribbon and Rhinestone Crystal Bracelet and the Turquoise Vintage Ribbon Wrap Bracelet with Gold Rhinestone and Pearl Pendants.
Gold Braided Vintage Fuschia Ribbon and Rhinestone Crystal Bracelet
This bracelet is created with pink and orange ribbons braided together and crystals nestled throughout . At the end, a strip of crystals hang among the ribbons’ fringe. To close, there is a size adjustable chain and clasp.
I enjoy anything with crystals and this bracelet is no exception. I also love the fuschia; a fun, bright color to accent your outfit. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the fringed edge because I prefer a cleaner look.
You can purchase this bracelet at Ettika for $55.
Vintage Ribbon Wrap Bracelet with Gold Rhinestone and Pearl Pendants
This is a long bracelet – 26.5 inches- that is meant to be wrapped. I enjoy the mix of braided and tied turquoise ribbon. Also the large crystals and the pearls that dangle freely are a beautiful addition. This is my favorite of the two bracelets I reviewed. I love having the ability to achieve different looks depending on how it’s wrapped and where you place the pearls (they can slide on the ribbon).
You can purchase this bracelet from Ettika for $85.
Purchase/Win
Purchase – You can find these pieces and other jewelry on the Ettika website.
Win - One winner will receive the Turquoise Vintage Ribbon Wrap Bracelet with Gold Rhinestone and Pearl Pendants. Visit the Ettika Giveaway post to enter.

Overstock Silver sells beautiful sterling silver jewelry both online and in their Maryland store. They offer bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings in styles inspired by famous designers and celebrities.
They do have a very large selection. When choosing an item to review (and giveaway to a lucky reader!), I narrowed my search down to bracelets, and decided on the simple, elegant Taylor Swift Bangle.
Review
This bracelet comes in a black, ribbon-tied organza bag and is enclosed in a brown and pink gift box; perfect for gift giving. The Taylor Swift Tennis Bracelet is 100% Sterling Silver and has two rows of small, Triple A quality CZ stones accenting the top of half. The lower half is unadorned. I love the classic, simple beauty of this bangle; it’s a versatile piece that can be worn with anything.
I tried to take a picture, but my camera couldn’t capture the details. This picture is from Overstocksilver.com.
The bracelet has a hinge on one side and opens wide. It closes with a simple clasp; one end slides into the other and a little lever on the side holds it in place. It’s a very easy piece to put on and take off. The diameter of this bracelet is small, measuring only 2.25 inches. If you have a wide wrist this may not fit.
When I received the bracelet one of the CZ stones was missing. I emailed the company to let them know, and their response was so gracious. They apologized and said that a new bracelet would be sent along with a pre-paid exchange label to mail the broken item back. I was also told that there is a lifetime guarantee on all their jewelry if this should happen again. We all know that defects occasionally happen, and I was so pleased with their response.
Overall, I am very happy with both Overstocksilver.com and the Taylor Swift Bangle. I recommend them for both their jewelry and customer service.
