holiday with the corps.... typesetter jewelry review and giveaway!

I love jewelry.  As you’ve heard me mention before, since Amelia was born I have been so into necklaces! They are not only a great accessory to compliment and outfit, but they are also an awesome go-to toy when you are out and about! I’m telling you, Amelia is obsessed with playing with necklaces, so that really encourages me to accessorize every day – as if I need another excuse!  I was really excited when Typesetters offered me the opportunity to review one of their personalized pendant necklaces from their Etsy Shop.

Typesetters is a somewhat new, but very innovative and affordable style of jewelry.  Each pendant is handstamped with either a customized set of words (up to 14 characters), or you can choose from their selection already in stock!  I chose a customized pendant….

I couldn’t decide whether I wanted my pendant to be dedicated with words to Caleb or Amelia, so I chose both with "homebody"!  I have definitely become a homebody since being married and becoming a mommy, and I love being able to wear jewelry that shows how important my family is to me.  Once I gave my order, I received my necklace in about a week and a half – that’s not bad for custom jewelry!

You can dress this piece up with some funky earrings and bangles or wear it everyday with jeans and a shirt!  I love the necklace part, too – the pendant comes either on a 20” stainless steel beaded chain, or you can order one like mine with 16” black neoprene necklace.  These necklaces can also be shortened on the beaded chain to make a bracelet for men and women alike!  You can purchase your own from the Typesetters Etsy shop for only $7.50!

Typesetters was not only generous enough to send me my own custom ordered pendant necklace, but they also want to share with my readers! One very lucky Marine Parents reader will win their own customized pendant courtesy of the Typesetters Etsy Shop – just in time for the holidays!
