Be a Queen Every Day with Chamilia Earrings

You know how you save those pretty pieces of jewelry for a special occasion? Same can be said of the fancy shoes, the expensive purse or smartest jacket. As women, we do that. Save it for the special event, the unique opportunity to show it off. Well, what if that special occasion never comes? Or what if it doesn’t come more than four times a year? What if you are the special occasion. And life is everything every single day. Bring it every day. I mean what are you waiting for exactly? How about today? Buy something just for you, or wear it just because you are a queen. And you deserve to feel like a queen every single day. Chamilia earrings, and their jewelry pieces in general, make me feel like a queen. So, when I spied these adorable Tiara stud earrings I had to have them and I am putting them to use. Because frankly life is not a dress rehearsal. Anyone who spends time here at all knows I love a beautiful piece of jewelry. It makes me happy and Chamilia is one of my favorite jewelry companies so I have quite a few of their pretty pieces here from bracelets to bangles and rings. I’ve written about Chamilia before, and I can’t get enough of them. What draws me to them is their classic feel. When I was younger, I went for the big, chunky “statement” pieces. In fact I was an eighties girl, so bigger was better. Shoulder pads, gigantic high heels and bright pink or coral. But thankfully the 80s have passed. WHEW. And these days, I want something elegant and classic, and that’s what Chamilia is all about. Their jewelry uses sterling silver, a classic choice, and their designs are beautifully understated in a way that makes them perfect for any look and style. Kristin Coaker Talks Chamilia Studs “We’re here to help a woman tell a story that’s hers alone through her jewelry,” said Kristin Coaker, Head of Merchandising and Brand Communications for Chamilia. “Stud earrings are an area of expansion right now due to increased demand in the category. We are seeing constellation piercings, in particular, as a growing trend. Chamilia stud earrings are collectible, affordable, and last a lifetime. The classic motifs in this collection are truly timeless, as are the materials the earrings are crafted in.” The Collection The sensibility of this collection perfectly matches mine, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The simple designs with just the right amount of detailing make this collection perfect for the woman who loves to make a statement that’s subtle, but still striking. With 14 different designs that can be mixed and matched, I can choose exactly which pieces to wear solo or even as a collection of a couple of different ones to make an entire statement. With designs like hearts, diamonds, and even bows, these fun pieces have something for everyone. I received a pretty pair of the Chamilia Tiara Stud earrings here, and they are beautiful. These Chamilia earrings are pretty enough to make me feel like a queen every day. Here’s a rundown of the new Fall and Winter collection. Each design features sterling silver or bright sterling silver coupled with clear or colored Swarovski crystals for a look that is playful, yet elegant. Quatrefoil Studs Paisley Studs Paisley Pave Studs in White Arrow Studs Crown Studs Crown Hearts Studs Cross Studs Sparkling Shells Studs Floral Studs Bow Studs Tiara Studs Paisley Pave Studs in Rainbow What Will Your Chamilia Studs Say About You My favorite aspect of this new Fall and Winter line of studs is how personal they are. With such a wide, varied collection of styles, there’s something there to tell everyone’s unique story. I got the tiara studs because I love the simplicity of the design, and they make me feel like a queen. These ones are available in the shade I am wearing, or blue or zirconia. I know it’s a different line, but these Chamilia skulls are dark and fun too. Which Chamilia Earrings will you choose? What story will they tell? You won’t know until you check out the line of studs from Chamilia and Swarovski! I received product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own and it is also always truthful.

Citrus Silver sterling silver jewellery tells a story about you. Isn’t that what you want your jewellery to do? When you choose a piece from Citrus Silver, you get a one of a kind sterling silver hand-stamped necklace, that captures your personality or personal philosophy. There’s something lovely and empowering about that. High quality pieces from this Canadian jewellery brand range from gorgeous wrap bracelets to fashionable necklaces and earrings too. I received the Citrus Silver sterling silver Fierce necklace last week and I haven’t take it off. It shows no sign of tarnishing, which to me speaks of the high quality product. If you know me at all then you are aware by now that I love jewellery. In fact I frequently share pieces that I love here. Sterling silver is my go to. Sterling silver jewellery is beautiful, durable, affordable and versatile. Citrus Silver has you covered for sterling silver pieces. This Canadian company has a unique creative approach. Their jewellery is all about defining yourself by a mantra, a philosophy or sentiment that brings you joy. Each and every beautiful piece of heirloom quality Citrus Silver jewellery tells a story and I love that idea. Every Piece of Citrus Silver Jewellery Tells a Story Citrus Silver concentrates on two things – sterling silver and telling a story. They focus on sterling silver because of its beauty and affordability, and this is one reason I love sterling silver as well. The other thing about silver is that it allows letter and numbers to leave a clear, deep impression on the surface that lasts forever. There are many gorgeous pieces available, or you can create your own featuring your children’s names. It was hard for me to choose between Fierce necklace, the Courage bracelet that Aeryn wrote about on Geek With Style, and Seek Adventure necklace that Ann wrote about over here on her blog, Kickass Living. Citrus Silver uses a hand stamped technique for the highest quality lettering and numbering, to deliver a very personal, customized piece that features clean, bold lines, unparalleled craftsmanship, and an attention to detail. Their pieces are the kind that you will love for a lifetime and that always keep that special memory or feeling close to your heart. Citrus Silver Tells My Story I love that this is a Canadian company and I buy from Canadian brands whenever possible. I chose a hand stamped necklace with the word “Fierce” on it to remind myself to always be fierce in whatever I do. In business and life, good things come to those who know their value, and in today’s world, it’s easy to forget just how valuable we are. With my “Fierce” necklace, I’ll always remember my worth! Fierce is a word that inspires confidence so that’s why I love this particular necklace. Tonight I wore it to a Group Active class and I nailed it. Maybe it was what I had for dinner and maybe it was just a good night. But I was FIERCE. Nailed that class.

Shoot For the Moon with Chamilia Charms

Paula — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 01:24:52 +0000

Let’s be honest here. Most of us love pretty things. I am absolutely a fan of all that shines, sparkles or dangles. I have many earrings I adore and a bracelet I love because it reminds me of every single holiday gift from my husband and children. Chamilia jewelry is just like that. There’s a gorgeous series of pretty charms you can buy once you purchase a pretty bracelet in the colour of your liking. Then load it up, or wait for the gifts. I enjoy having bracelets like these because the kids and my husband always know what to buy me. This past week or two I was introduced to Chamilia charms when I received this stunning limited edition Shoot For The Moon charm. It’s surrounded by Swarovski crystals and features a pretty ruby detail as the smoke emanating from the rocket engine. Sometimes the story behind the charms is almost as appealing to me as the bracelet or necklace. These pieces are each unique and gorgeous and could stand alone. But they are so much more fun to collect together. There are dozens of Chamilia Charms but this one makes me happy. First it arrived unexpectedly here and that is a surprise in itself. So charming right? Then, there’s the Shoot for the Moon name which is gorgeous and inspiring. I love that. In fact as much as I love this one I am truly contemplating gifting it to my daughter because this is one of her favourite sayings. “Shoot for the Moon. Even if you fail you’ll land among the stars.” Chamilia Charms are beautiful and inspiring. Just like my daughters. Just like many women I know. Follow Chamilia on Twitter. Chamilia Jewelry features exclusive designs handcrafted from .925 Sterling Silver, 14k gold, crystal Swarovski ELEMENTS and Italian Murano Glass. See why I heart these? You can make your bracelets in different themes too. I love the cute summer one with sandals. Chamilia by Swarovski Group believes women should shoot for the moon. Shoot for the Moon—This Clear Swarovski Crystal and star embellished rocket with light blue enamel detailing and one Red Swarovski Crystal at its base is reminiscent of Fourth of July fun (MSRP $40). I received product to facilitate this post. My opinion is all my own. I look forward to adding to my collection soon.
