Cutey - review and giveaway

Some time ago I was contacted by Cutey, a jewelry brand from UK. They've just started so they asked me to review their bracelets. I was very happy to receive the Gaia and Eris charm bracelets. Let's have a closer look at them, shall we?

The Cutey bracelets are made by beads of different colours and shapes. Each piece of jewelry comes with several beads that can be easily added or removed, so it's like having different bracelets! How nice is that? The picture below shows the Gaia bracelet. It features pink, light green and silver beads; some of them look like made of Murano glass, which I really like. My favourite part of the bracelet is the multi-faceted pink bead. It has a regular clasp, a bit difficult to close with one hand! I always find that kind of clasp a bit uncomfortable; you always need an extra pair of hands to manage it, haha! It's very feminine and classy overall - I think I'm gonna wear it a lot.

The Cutey bracelets come in two different chain lengths, 20cm and 18cm. The 20cm one, Gaia, fitted my wrist perfectly, while Eris was a tiny bit too tight. Nothing too uncomfortable anyway.

This one is Eris. It features red toned beads and a large key charm. It's a bit less girly than the Gaia one. It has a different clasp from the Gaia that you can see better in the photo on the website here, which I find easier to close. It's a pretty little bracelet, but I think it'd look even nicer without the red beads! Or maybe even without all the beads, just with the key charm. I'm a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, haha! ;)

I love how with Cutey you can get cute bracelets without spending hundreds of euros on a Pandora. You get the same style but a much lower pice - only £12,99! The Cutey bracelets are pre-made now, but soon you'll be able to choose your own beads to create a personalized bracelet, just like with Pandora.

Another thing I like about Cutey is the names of the pieces of  jewelry! Tartarus, Pontus, Hemera, Moirae.. they all come from the Greek mythology.. I love that!

As you can see, they look lovely even worn together, but I'm going to part with Eris (which, by the way, is already sold out on their website.) Yes, I'm going to give it away! Just fill up the form below to win a Cutey bracelet :)

a lovely, little shop

some days ago I won a little giveaway on Previously Owned, one of my daily reads; today I got the package (nothing could make me happier) and I decided to thank both the blog and the sponsor featuring them here.

Photobucket

a lovely, little shop is really so. the items Chelsea creates are made from tiny, sparkly beads; the feeling you get is they are either made from a gypsy, either from super little squirrels.

Photobucket

the necklace -which I had the possibility to choose- came in a cute packaging, with a little note for me in it. nothing is better than handmade, personalized and heartfelt creations.

Photobucket

so again, I thank Fi from Previously Owned (check it out, it's an amazing blog) and Chelsea from A lovely, little shop.. you gained a reader and a customer :)
