Its ALL about You: Birth Designs CLOSED

So, for Day 1 of this giveaway, I was thinking, what does every mom hope to get,for any and every occasion?
Now, if the hubby slips up and buys you something stupid like a toilet brush, you can rest easy. I found the most beautiful and unique hand stamped jewelry around, just for you.


Birth Designs was founded by Bonnie Alvarez, an artist that has been in the jewelry and silversmithing industry for almost a decade. They offer ten unique fonts, 6 of which are exclusive to them.
They have graciously offered one luck reader "The Mothers Circle Necklace".

This versatile name necklace is suitable for both adults and children. Any name or word can be custom stamped onto the thick sterling circle. The accent beads can be freshwater pearls, Swarovski Crystals, or plain sterling rounds.

The necklace length is 16" with a 2" extender .The "circle" pendant is a 1mm thick cast-silver, and not thin cut sterling sheet like some. Their necklaces are hand-hewn in a studio from milled silver chain. Birth Designs hand-sawn, pierced, filed, stamped, and/or oxidized pieces have been forged with proven, classic techniques that may take a little more time, but show the heirloom quality of our work.

This would make the perfect gift for moms and grandmothers. Its classic style and clean lines allow it to be worn with anything!

Now that you know what you want, just follow the instructions below.

How to Enter:
1) Visit Birth Designs and tell me which item is your "must have".

Oh my goodness, I almost cried when I saw the I Wear Your Footprint necklace. I love that you can have your child's actual footprint turned into a necklace. My daughter passed away almost 7 years ago at 6 weeks old. Her birthday is coming up and I would love to have this to wear. I would definitely treasure it always.

The Sterling Silver 3-Tier Cuff would be perfect for my mother--she has five kids (that many wouldn't fit on many necklaces)

Ordered from Birth Designs. Never got my jewelry. Never got a response to my inquiries. Many other people posted the same complaint on her Facebook page. Be careful.
